More about this scene
This fine seven-arch Grecian-style bridge over the River Don was built in 1850; it linked the village to Warmsworth, and replaced the ferry service. From the late 17th century, Sprotborough Hall dominated the village for three hundred years, before death duties forced its sale in September 1925. It was demolished six months later, and new houses were built in the park. Sir Walter Scott stayed in the village whilst writing his novel 'Ivanhoe'.
