1957 Ryder Cup

The 12th Ryder Cup Matches were held 4–5 October 1957 at Lindrick Golf Club near Worksop, England. The Great Britain team, led by captain Dai Rees, beat the United States team by a score of 71⁄2 to 41⁄2 points, and won the Ryder Cup for the first time since 1933.On the first day of competition was the Americans dominated the foursomes, winning three of the four matches. Dick Mayer and Tommy Bolt's 7 & 5 win over Britain's Christy O'Connor and Eric Brown was the largest margin of victory on day one. The British rallied on the second day of competition, starting with the first two singles matches. Brown recorded a 4 & 3 victory over Bolt, and Peter Mills defeated U.S. captain Jack Burke Jr. to draw Britain level at 3 to 3. The Americans responded when Fred Hawkins won his match against Peter Alliss, however Britain won the next four matches. Great Britain won the Ryder Cup when O'Connor defeated Dow Finsterwald, giving the British team 7 points. Harry Bradshaw and Mayer halved the final singles match to bring the final score to 71⁄2 to 41⁄2, with Britain gaining 61⁄2 points in the eight singles matches.Dai Rees therefore became only the third - and final - captain of the Great Britain side to lift the Ryder Cup as winning captain. Great Britain would never win the Ryder Cup again, and the Great Britain & Ireland team that competed in 1973, 1975 and 1977 never won the cup. It would not be until 1985 that a non-American (Tony Jacklin, as captain of the Europe team) would lift the trophy.

Gateford

Gateford is a village in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 1 mile north-west of Worksop and was first recorded by name as Gattef (meaning goats’ ford), circa 1130. Archaeological information however reveals a longstanding human settlement in the Gateford landscape, and to the north of the village there are three circular cropmarks thought to be Bronze Age barrows. A bronze flanged axe was discovered at Gateford Farm in 1962. Irregular fields, lanes and settlement enclosures in the same area are thought to reflect a Romano-British rural landscape (A.D. 43-410), with various Roman period artefacts having been unearthed, including coins from the reign of Nero and Domitian, which were uncovered at Gateford Hall in the early 19th century. These conclusions were backed up in 2013 by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS), who conducted a geophysical survey of the site in thirteen trenches, many of which contained Romano-British pottery dating from the 2nd century AD. They also discovered linear features representing enclosure ditches and gullies, most likely associated with the outlying enclosures of an Iron Age or Romano-British farm. The later village grew from lands on the estate of Gateford Hall, the medieval moated manor house which was largely rebuilt in the 17th century, and is now a Grade 2 listed building. Gateford's present day boundaries are Gateford Road (A57), Owday Lane, Carlton Road (A60) and Raymoth Lane. Gateford is steeped in an almost hidden away history that at times seems hard to find, and since 1995 has been largely redeveloped to become a very modern looking community, specifically relating to the building of thousands of new homes and that of the Celtic Point shopping area. This said, its charm and character remains, with acres of woodland, ponds and streams, together with an abundance of wildlife, and agricultural farm land, beset to the backdrop of Gateford Hill, which in turn covers a large swathe of the landscape. A separate Gateford Hill (the manor house that was Gateford Hall), boasts an attractive private, unregistered historic park and garden, with a wide range of large mature trees. Gateford's green areas include Eddison Plantation, Sand Hill Plantation, Keeper's Ashes, Hardwick Ashes, Little Broom Wood, Nab's Ashes Woods, Whipman Wood, Owday Plantation and Owday Woods. A number of historical and architecturally important buildings were designated as the Old Gateford Conservation Area on 4th February 2009, that includes the aforementioned Gateford Hall, Gateford Hill House, California Farm, the 18th and 19th century cottages on Old Gateford Road, a number of outbuildings, Ivy Cottage, Otley Cottage, Forge House, a small industrial area known as ‘the Smithy’ and a listed icehouse associated with Gateford House. Numerous public footpaths link Gateford to its neighbouring villages and to the town of Worksop. The community is served by Gateford Park Primary School with a second school due to open on Gatekeeper Way in September 2024. Gateford Park Primary School's Key Stage 2 indoor athletics team became the district champions in 2012. Gateford's village sign was created by schoolchildren based on local Roman finds. The Roman's Rest public house provides regular live entertainment and a good food selection.
