Kexbrough is a village in the Barnsley district, in the county of South Yorkshire, England, on the border with West Yorkshire.[1] The village falls within the Darton West ward of Barnsley MBC. It is located west of the M1 motorway, just south of Junction 38 at an elevation of around 351 feet (107 m) above sea level. Historically[when?] the village was known as Kexborough, and includes the hamlets of Haigh and Swithin.[2] Until 1974 it was in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
History
Kexbrough is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Ilbert of Lacey, and having two villagers, a meadow, ploughlands and six furlongs of woodland.[3] Historically in the parish of Darton and the wapentake of Staincross, the village is recorded in the Domesday Book as Chizeburg, being Kesseburgh in the 14th century, and Kexbrough by the 1580s. The place name is derived from a combination of the Old Norse personal name, Keptr and the Old English burh, which meant a fortified place.[4][5][6]
The village is just west of the M1 motorway, about 351 feet (107 m) above sea level, being some 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north-west of Barnsley, and 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south of Wakefield.[7][8]
Kexbrough was formerly a township in the parish of Darton,[2] in 1866 Kexbrough became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1938 the parish was abolished and merged with Darton.[9] In 1931 the parish had a population of 1673.[10]
