The Making of Doncaster Memorial Edition A Yorkshire Town: The Making of Doncaster History, Buildings & People by Derek and Enid Holland Copyright Copyright © Sarah Holland All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without the prior permission of the copyright holder. First published 2012. i Dedication The origins of this book are rooted in the work of my late parents, Derek and Enid. Together they explored and researched the history of Doncaster. Their discoveries most often appeared in the classroom, as they shared their knowledge with children and adults alike. They had the vision to conceive and write a book that embraced the story of Doncaster's past - the making of a Yorkshire town. Unfortunately they both died before the book could be published and therefore did not see their dream become reality. This ebook is about making that dream happen in the memory of two Doncastrians. Technology has played a great role in achieving this, but so has the hard work of Louise Robinson and myself in transforming the text in to a digital form. However, the text itself is based wholly on the finished manuscript they left, and as such inevitably cannot account for more recent developments in the town. ii I hope this book inspires you, as did the work of Enid and Derek inspired so many in their lifetimes. My own interest in history was fostered by their enthusiasm and the many enjoyable journeys into the past we shared as a family. Sarah Holland August 2012 iii About the authors Derek Holland Derek was a passionate historian who specialised in buildings, landscapes and social history. He was educated at schools in Doncaster and at the University of Nottingham. Upon qualification he began a career in adult education, both as tutor and as an organising tutor for the Workers’ Educational Association in South Yorkshire. He never tired of sharing his wealth of knowledge with other people, and inspiring them to explore the heritage on their doorstep and further afield. In addition he encouraged several groups to research and publish local history projects. Enid Holland Enid was an enthusiastic teacher who kindled a love of learning in those she taught. She was educated in schools in Wharncliffe Side and Penistone, and at Derby Diocesan Teachers’ Training College. She qualified as a teacher with a Certificate of Education from the University of Nottingham. She went on to teach at Primary Schools in Stocksbridge, Nottingham and Tickhill. Enid was also the Secretary of the Doncaster Branch of the W.E.A. iv A selection of other Published Books and Articles by Derek Holland Warmsworth in the 18th Century: Population Change, Agriculture, and Quarrying in a Rural South Yorkshire Community (Doncaster, 1965) "An Edlington Account Book of the Early 18th Century", in South Yorkshire Historian, 2 (1973) Bawtry and the Idle River Trade (2nd edn.; Doncaster, 1976) "Made in Doncaster: Jackson's Cheswold Motor Car", in South Yorkshire Historian, 3 (1976) Changing Landscapes in South Yorkshire (Doncaster, 1980) "Local Communities in South Yorkshire: The Framework of Society, 1750-1850", in South Yorkshire Historian, 4 (1980) “Jigsaws of Building History: Three Parish Churches in the Lower Don Valley”, in B.

Its development over the last two hundred and fifty years occupies much of the present book. We have sometimes strayed very near to today in our exploration of the past. As Henri Pirenne once told Marc Bloch, “If I were an anti- quarian, I would have eyes only for old stuff, but I am a histo- rian.” (Marc Bloch, The Historian’s Craft). However, the town’s origins and early development, from Roman times onwards, have not been neglected. As Professor A E Smailes observed in The Geography of Towns: “Towns do not exist in vacuums, cut off from the contiguous areas along clear-cut municipal boundary lines,....Town and country are indivisible.” The crea- tion of the metropolitan borough in 1974 confirmed this unity. Our last chapter deals with the area around Doncaster, so that the ancient town and its surrounding countryside are linked to- gether. There is an emphasis throughout the book on buildings and landscapes. This stems from personal interest and from our belief in the need to link history with the visual heritage. We are truly grateful to our daughters Rachel and Sarah for their help and support. Rachel typed the original draft of a diffi- cult handwritten text. Sarah word processed the final text and compiled the bibliography. Such help - at times when they were busy with their own work and projects - was invaluable. We thank other local historians who shared ideas and views with us vii over the years; we hope we have not trodden on exotic blooms in other people’s gardens. We also thank the librarians and ar- chivists, who have made materials available for study over many years. Last, but far from least, we thank the many mem- bers of the WEA courses, who have long contributed to discus- sion of local history. No local historian is likely to be infallible. As Professor R H Tawney long ago wrote in The Agrarian Problem in the Six- teenth Century: “The student who works over considerable masses of material will be fortunate if he does not introduce some errors of his own.” If we have, indeed, done so, after our careful endeavours, we ask our reader’s indulgence in the spirit of R H Tawney.

  • Servants' Passage
    SERVANTS’ PASSAGE: Cultural identity in the architecture of service in British and American country houses 1740-1890 2 Volumes Volume 1 of 2 Aimée L Keithan PhD University of York Archaeology March 2020 Abstract Country house domestic service is a ubiquitous phenomenon in eighteenth and nineteenth century Britain and America. Whilst shared architectural and social traditions between the two countries are widely accepted, distinctive cultural identity in servant architecture remains unexplored. This thesis proposes that previously unacknowledged cultural differences between British and American domestic service can be used to rewrite narratives and re-evaluate the significance of servant spaces. It uses the service architecture itself as primary source material, relying on buildings archaeology methodologies to read the physical structures in order to determine phasing. Archival sources are mined for evidence of individuals and household structure, which is then mapped onto the architecture, putting people into their spaces over time. Spatial analysis techniques are employed to reveal a more complex service story, in both British and American houses and within Anglo-American relations. Diverse spatial relationships, building types and circulation channels highlight formerly unrecognised service system variances stemming from unique cultural experiences in areas like race, gender and class. Acknowledging the more nuanced relationship between British and American domestic service restores the cultural identity of country house servants whose lives were not only shaped by, but who themselves helped shape the architecture they inhabited. Additionally, challenging accepted narratives by re-evaluating domestic service stories provides a solid foundation for a more inclusive country house heritage in both nations. This provides new factors on which to value modern use of servant spaces in historic house museums, expanding understanding of their relevance to modern society.

Three further monuments and three events are recorded within the buffer. The site and the north, east and south of the buffer form part of the Doncaster Roman Pottery Production Area, which is defined as an area where extensive remains of Roman pottery kilns have been recorded and which formed the focus of this important local industry. Within the north of the buffer is a Roman pottery kiln dating to the 2nd to 3rd centuries recorded during excavations at Blaxton Quarry. In the northeast of the buffer are two findspots, one a Romano-British pottery scatter and the other a Bronze Age bronze axe head. Geophysical survey of land off Gatehouse Lane recorded a single post- medieval to modern boundary.
