The Parish  Of Brodsworth

 
Wapentakes?

 

This parish used to be in the Wapentake of Strafforth and Tickhill(lower division) in the West Riding of Yorkshire until around the year 1900, when wapentakes were discontinued. The parish included Pickburn, and Scawsby Hall. The map links here are borrowed from the Genuki site which gives extensive genealogy of English Parishes

Brodsworth colliery, long closed, now shows a landscaped hill from what was the black spoil heap, or tip as it was always known.
