Braithwell is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. It is about 1 mile (1.6 km) north from Maltby and 3 miles (5 km) south-east from Conisbrough. According to the 2001 Census the civil parish had a population of 1,056,[2] increasing slightly to 1,060 at the 2011 Census.[1]
The name Braithwell derives from the Old English brādwella meaning 'broad well'. Brād was later replaced by the Old Norse breiðr.[3]
In 1289, the village obtained a Royal Charter entitling it to hold a weekly Tuesday market and an annual eight-day fair – an unusually long duration. These were long discontinued by a survey of 1652, but a cross shaft survives with an inscription in Norman French which translates as "Jesus, son of Mary, think upon the brother of our king, I beseech you".[4]
The Church of St James in the village is a Grade II* listed building.[5]
