Campsall is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Norton, in the Doncaster district, in the county of South Yorkshire, England. It lies 7 miles (11 km) to the north-west of Doncaster, at an elevation of around 50 feet above sea level. The village contains Campsall Country Park. The village falls within the Norton & Askern ward of Doncaster Council and the House of Commons constituency of Doncaster North. The Parish is situated on the “Magnesian Limestone Belt”, a landscape feature formed by a narrow north–south trending escarpment. The Magnesian Limestone Belt is typified by well drained and fertile soils, which were ideal for agriculture and the establishment of settlements like Campsall. Before the industrial revolution, the area to the east was occupied by the inaccessible and waterlogged marshes of the Humberhead Levels, whilst to the west was the Barnsdale Forest, an area associated with the legend of Robin Hood and various outlaws and bandits who preyed upon travellers on the Great North Road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 260.

Womersley railway station was a railway station in North Yorkshire, England. It was situated on the Askern Branch Line and was built by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway to provide at link to the great Northern Railway at Doncaster. It was opened in 1848and closed to passenger traffic back in September 1948. The platforms have since been demolished, but the railway line through the site is still open and in regular use. The grand presence and noticeable architecture of the station likely resulted from the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railways’ belief that it was in keeping with the villages location. The large "Swiss cottage style" station building is prominent. The estate at the time of construction in the 1840s belonged to Lord Roche and there were many important visitors to the estate who came by train including the Queen Mother.

Kirk Smeaton railway station is located on the east side of Willowbridge Road in Little Smeaton, North Yorkshire, England. It opened on 22 July 1885, two days after the Hull Barnsley and West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company opened the line between Hull Cannon Street and Cudworth. The station had two facing platforms, the brick-built main station building in "domestic revival style" was on the down side, while the up platform had a waiting room. At the east end of the down platform was a signal box which controlled the goods yard. The latter consisted of four sidings, but had no goods shed.A branch line between Wrangbrook Junction west of Kirk Smeaton and Denaby and Conisbrough opened in 1894, another between Wrangbrook Junction and Wath in 1904. Trains on these lines ran to and from Kirk Smeaton and beyond, also changing directions there, so that a locomotive turntable was installed in the station.Passenger services between Kirk Smeaton and Denaby and Conisbrough were withdrawn on 1 February 1903, although miners' trains may have continued to run after this date. Passenger services to Wath ended on 8 April 1929. The station closed to passengers on 1 January 1932, when passenger services between South Howden and Cudworth ceased, and remained open for goods traffic until 6 April 1959. After closure to regular passenger services, some excursion trains still ran from the station to Hull Fair and to Leeds football ground, so on 14 October 1933 during Hull Civic Week and on 28 February 1953 to Leeds. At the time of closure, the line and the station were operated by British Railways (North Eastern Region). The station building is now a private residence, part of the down platform is also preserved. The turntable pit has been partially filled in.This station was used in an episode of "A Touch of Frost - Held in Trust" from Series 10.

Whitley Preceptory was a priory in North Yorkshire, England. The site of the priory is thought to have been located 0.62 miles (1 km) south west of the village of Whitley and was one of twelve run by the Knights Templar in Yorkshire alone. Whilst the exact location of the manor house is unknown, the presence of a moat at grid reference SE555205, is thought to indicate the possible location of the priory.It is known to have been in the possession of the Templars by 1248, but was probably in use before that time. Sometime between 1308 and 1312, the preceptory was abandoned after the suppression of the Knights Templar.As the site cannot be positively identified, some have suggested the manor was in Weedley, a deserted medieval village in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
