In this part of the website, we will pull together
articles and notes about aspects of Tickhill’s history.
It is not intended to be a complete history. We will add to
it as interesting material becomes available.
As well as giving a brief general history of the origin
and development of Tickhill, there are four main sections under Local History:-
1. Longer articles containing in-depth research on
topics such as Tickhill's Maison Dieu and Tickhill's musical
past.
2. Summaries and transcripts of the talks given to the
Society by visiting speakers, covering topics on which they are
particular experts eg. the organ of St. Mary's Church and
Tickhill's lanes and hedgerows.
3. Snippets i.e. shorter articles, many taken from the Society's
quarterly newsletter, describing, for example, wartime farming and shops in
Tickhill 60 years ago.
4. Articles on topics which relate to our collection of
photographs in the Gallery section of the website and
which help to understand the context in which the photographs
were taken and to appreciate what they tell us about life at
those times.
