Inside this amazing historic home, for sale within walking distance of Bawtry

One of Doncaster's most historic homes is for sale in a village close to Bawtry and Finningley.

The Manor House dates back to around 1500, and was the one-time home of William Bradford, a puritan separatist who was raised there from 1590 by his grandfather before he fled the country, and persecution by James 1, for Holland. He later went on to become Governor of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, USA, in 1621.
