This manor was given by William the Conqueror to Roger de Busli, who erected or rebuilt the castle, which, with the honour of Tickhill, being subsequently forfeited, was granted by King Stephen to the Count of Eu, in Normandy. The property afterwards reverted to the crown, and was bestowed by Richard I. upon his brother, Prince John. In the reign of Henry III., it was restored to the then Count of Eu, but, after several changes, became again vested in the crown, in the time of Henry IV. At the commencement of the great civil war, the castle, at that time considered a very strong fortress, was garrisoned for the king, and, after a siege of two days, was surrendered to the assailants, and eventually dismantled by order of parliament.

The town is situated in a fertile valley, close to the river Torn, on the border of the county of Nottingham, and on the roads between Doncaster and Worksop, and Bawtry and Sheffield, which here cross each other. The streets are neat and spacious, and the houses in general of respectable appearance, but built in a straggling manner; the inhabitants are well supplied with water. The trade in malt was formerly large, and at present there are several very extensive kilns, three cornmills, and a paper-manufactory. The market, held on Friday, was for some years discontinued, but was revived in 1836; and a fair is held on the second Friday in October, for cattle, and various articles of merchandise: the market-cross is a circular building of stone, erected in 1776, in the centre of the town. Manorial courts leet and baron are held annually. The parish comprises 5336a. 21p., of which 1000 acres are pasture, 56 woodland, and the remainder arable; the soil, a sandy loam, is generally fertile, and the greater part of a large tract of peat-moss has been brought under profitable cultivation. The substrata are chiefly limestone, clay, and red-sandstone.

The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the king's books at £7. 2. 6.; net income, £261; patron and impropriator, G. S. Foljambe, Esq.: the vicarial tithes were commuted for land in 1765. The church is a handsome structure in the later English style, with a fine tower: it was greatly injured by lightning in 1825, but afterwards underwent a complete repair, at an expense of £1950. In the chancel is an altar, or altar-tomb, ornamented at the sides with large quatrefoils: on the wall near it, is a brass plate with an inscription to the memory of William Eastfield, seneschal of the lordship of Holderness, and of the honour of Tickhill, who died in 1386; and at the east end of the south aisle is an alabaster monument with the effigies of a knight and his lady. All these have evidently been brought hither from other places, perhaps from decayed religious houses. There are places of worship for Independents and Wesleyans. Near the church is a Maison de Dieu, of uncertain foundation, comprising fourteen almshouses for widows. The remains of the castle, on the south-east side of the town, consist of the mound, on which the foundations of the keep are visible; the ditch, with part of the external walls; and a dilapidated Norman gateway: the northern part has been converted into a modern residence, and the ground within the walls formed into gardens and shrubberies. The ruins of an Augustine priory, established in the reign of Henry III., and situated in an adjacent vale, have been made into a farmhouse. John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, resided at Tickhill Castle.

About three-quarters of a mile south of the village is a manufactory of brown earthenware. The living is a perpetual curacy; net income, £262; patron and impropriator, Sir John HarpurCrewe, Bart.; a parsonage-house was built in 1839, and there is a glebe of about 70½ acres, valued at £140.

A school-house was erected by Dame Catherine Harpur, who, in 1744, conveyed for its support some land now producing an income of £25; the premises were rebuilt in 1825, at the expense of Sir George Crewe. An hospital for seven decayed housekeepers was founded in 1771, by Charles Harpur, Esq., who gave £500 for building it, and endowed it with £2000, now yielding £70 per annum.
