A large area of burgage plots associated with post-medieval and medieval vernacular buildings most of which predate the 19th century and a number of which may have medieval cores. The urban morphology of Tickhill has attracted the attentions of a number of writers since it was identified as a medieval 'planted' settlement by Beresford in 1967 (quoted in Barley 1975). The burgage plots of the town were probably laid out by the twelfth century with Magilton recognising two main groups of burgage plot types in the village "narrow-fronted in the area of Northgate west of the Market Place and broad fronted to the north and south" (1979, 348). The narrow fronted plots are thought to be medieval in date, whilst the broader plots may "be amalgamations of the narrow fronted variety" possibly dating to "the seventeenth century or later" (op cit). Magilton's 1978 survey notes a large number of notable historic structures and features within this area (p75-80) including most notably the 'Hospital of St Leonard (PRN 223), the probable medieval market place and a number of timber framed survivals. Most buildings externally post-medieval but detailed survey would be likely to reveal internal medieval fabric and archaeological remains throughout this area. Unknown legibility of earlier landscape evidence. The present village probably replaced the Domesday settlement of Dadesley (thought to cluster around the site of 'All Hallows' to the north west of the village) following Norman works at the sites of the Castle and Church (Magilton 1979, 348).
