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.
Brinsworth is located about 1 mile (1.6km) south of the site of a Roman fort at Templeborough. Remains thought to be part of the Roman road called Icknield Street, which passed the fort, were discovered on White Hill in 1948, between Brinsworth and Canklow.[4] Other Roman remains found on White Hill by a team led by Dorothy Greene, Keeper of Roman Antiquities at Rotherham's Clifton Park Museum, included nine roads in a grid 926ft by 490ft at grid referenceSK420905.[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]
The village grew in the 19thcentury 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.
