Scaftworth history

---

By the time of the Domesday Book, the landowner was the Archbishop of York. By the 18th century he was still getting quit rent on these lands, from Richard Acklom who was by then the main landowner and Lord of the Manor. The wider area contains a wealth of archaeology, with various artefacts being found, likely relating to local Roman occupation. Bawtry Road Bridge was built in 1810 and widened in 1940.

Scaftworth Hall

Scaftworth is an estate village in the area around the town centre. It was established in 1835 under the Viscount Althorp (3rd Earl Spencer) acquired through marriage into the Acklom family who owned estates at nearby Wiseton and Everton.

Roman fort and road

A fort was in place 300 metres (980 ft) east of Bawtry Bridge in the 4th century AD. Earthworks were still in place until at least 1770 when these were added to John Chapman’s map of Nottinghamshire. White’s Directory of 1835 confirmed that there were Roman artefacts found locally, but the field had been farmed over since and the location forgotten.

The area is 1 mile south east of Bawtry, 10 miles north east of Worksop, and 33 miles north of Nottingham. Predominantly, the parish is a scattering of farms, farmhouses and cottages amongst a wider rural setting.
