History

Hampole is mentioned in the Domesday Book as having two ploughlands, woodlands and three villagers. [3] The name of the village derives from the Old English name of Hana and pōl, meaning Hana's pool, the first part being someone's name. [4] [5] The priory at Hampole was founded c. 1153 by Avici de Tania. When the priory was closed during the Dissolution, it had a complement of 14 nuns. [6] [7]

Hampole railway station opened in February 1886 and closed on 7 January 1952. [8]

The parish includes the villages of Hampole, Skelbrooke and Barnsdale. The parish of Hampole is part of the Sprotbrough Ward of Doncaster Council. [9]

By the A1 road, near Skelbrooke, is Robin Hood's Well, with its stone cover designed by John Vanbrugh. Little John's Well lies to the west of Hampole village. [10]

Hampole lies about two miles north west of the model village of Woodlands; and of Highfields Wood, where there is a brook known as Robin Hood's Brook.

Notable buildings include the Grade II listed Church of St Michael and All Angels in Skelbrooke, [11] Hampole Manor with Hampole Manor Cottage, [12] and an 18th-century barn on Steep Hill Lane. [13] To the south of the village is the Hampole Wind Farm, run by the company Good Energy. [14] The site, which started generating in spring 2014, consists of four turbines generating enough electricity to power 5,400 homes per year. [15] [16]
