History

Branton is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Geoffrey Alselin as having 15 ploughlands, and a church.[2] The name Branton derives from the Old English Brōm-tūn; the farmstead/town where the broom grew (or town among the broom).[3][4] The village was formerly in the wapentake of Strafforth and Tickhill.[5] In 1951, a farmer ploughing fields at Kilham Farm to the north east of the village, discovered fragments of pottery. The site has since been surveyed and documented as Romano-British pottery location which had several kilns, using the nearby River Torne for transport pottery away from Branton.[6]

There is a primary school in the village, named St Wilfrid's, which was rated as Good by Ofsted in 2019.[7] There is a post office, newsagent, barbers and pub in the village. There used to be a chapel and a church but these have been demolished.[8] The pub is called the Three Horseshoes, and was renovated in 1907.[9] A frequent bus service connects the village with Cantley and Doncaster.[10]

The Yorkshire Wildlife Park is immediately to the south of the village; it is bounded to the east by the River Torne, and to the west by the M18 motorway, which separates it from Cantley.[11][12]

Governance

Branton is in the parliamentary constituency of Don Valley, and in the civil parish of Cantley with Branton.[13]
