Toponymy

Styrrup is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Estirape, [3] [4] the name having some topographical meaning (perhaps regarding the shape of a nearby hill). [5] Oldcotes derives from 'owl-cottages', having changed through forms such as Ullcoats and Oldcoates to its present spelling. [6] [7] The parish was singularly called Styrrup until 1951. [8]

Geography

Location

The parish lies along the north west boundary of the Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire border.

It is surrounded by the following local areas:

Settlements

The parish consists of two settlements:

Oldcotes

This lies 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south west of Styrrup along the southern border. It is focused around the A634 Maltby to Blyth road, and the A60.

Styrrup

Styrrup is based in the north of the parish, lying just to the left of the A1(M) trunk road. It is a linear settlement, clustered mainly around Main Street on the B6463 road.

Landscape

Predominantly, many of the parish residents are clustered around the villages. Outside of these is a scattering of farms, farmhouses and cottages amongst a wider rural setting.

Several small wooded areas exist mainly to the centre and east of the parish.

Water features

  • River Ryton forms the east boundary of the parish
  • River Torne is to the north west along the county border
  • Oldcotes Dyke is the south border of the parish. It is a tributary of the Ryton, but branches from it in the adjacent Blyth parish.

Land elevation

The parish is relatively low-lying. The land height varies from 10 metres (33 ft) in the south to 35 metres (115 ft) in the centre and west.

There is a spoil heap which was used by the former Harworth Colliery, this rises to 80 metres (260 ft).

Governance

Although discrete settlements, these are managed at the first level of public administration as Styrrup with Oldcotes Parish Council.

At district level, the wider area is managed by Bassetlaw District Council, and by Nottinghamshire County Council at its highest tier.

History

Much of the area was owned by the Duchy of Lancaster. A notable Lord of the manor by the middle 1800s was Viscount Galway of nearby Serlby Hall, with holdings around Styrrup. There was once an association with Styrrup and Oldcotes as townships under the parishes of Blyth and Harworth. [9] The common land was enclosed in 1802. [10] Edward Chaloner, a Liverpool timber businessman built a number of buildings in Oldcotes including the Catholic church in the mid 19th century. The Wesleyan chapel was erected in 1840. Oldcotes had an extensive brewery in the mid 1800s formed by the Smith and Nephew business. [11] The East Lodge was built in 1855 and is associated to the nearby Hermeston Hall, of the east edge of Oldcotes village. [12] A number of water mills were established in the area around Oldcotes Dyke about this time. [13] In earlier times a lake called White Water existed and was the only natural lake in the county, [14] it had since been drained in the 1800s by William Mellish [15] and turned into farmland. [16] The A1(M) Doncaster bypass in the area opened in 1961. [17] The area was surrounded by collieries; Firbeck and Harworth were linked by railway branches from what is now the freight-only South Yorkshire Joint Railway, the lines going through the west and north of the parish, with the mines closing in 1968 and 2006 respectively.

Economy

The Brunel Park Industrial Estate is in the north of the parish, east of Styrrup.

There is a public house in Oldcotes, The King William IV.

A Sunday market and car boot site lies alongside the A634 road in the south of the parish.

Styrrup Hall is a modern golf and country club and was established in 2000 on former agricultural land. [18] The nearby former Styrrup Hall is a farm and private residence.
