Brinsworth is a village and

2011 Census.[1]

Brinsworth became a new separate ward in May 2021 which covers the whole village beyond the parish boundary. This change is to accommodate an expanding neighbouring ward of Rother Vale - that includes a new mainly private housing estate of Waverley which has around 3,800 homes with its own school and lake frontage.

From Brinsworth people can now walk alongside the lakes at Waverley to Rother Valley Country Park, Gulliver's Valley theme park resort[2] and the new Waleswood Caravan and Camping park.[3]

History

Brinsworth is located about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the site of a

Clifton Park Museum, included nine roads in a grid 926 ft by 490 ft at grid reference SK420905.[5] In addition, walls of buildings were traced including what may have been a temple platform,[4] and pottery dating from the late 2nd and 3rd centuries was found.[5]

This area has been suggested by historian

Norman conquest, and it was divided between Roger de Busli and William de Percy.[citation needed
]

The village grew in the 19th century as coal mines were sunk in the surrounding area, and by 1891 the population was 1,656.[8] New housing estates were built around Brinsworth in the 1950s, increasing the population to its current level.

Notable buildings

Brinsworth has three primary schools: Brinsworth Howarth, situated next to Catcliffe on Whitehill lane; Brinsworth Whitehill, at the very highest point of Brinsworth at its centre; and Brinsworth Manor, the largest, located in the middle of the old village. The village secondary school is Brinsworth Academy.

The Church of England parish church is St Andrew and is joined with St Mary at Catcliffe.
