Braithwell is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. It is about two miles north of Maltby and three miles south of Conisbrough. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 1,056. [citeweb|title=2001 UK Census|url=http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=3&b=790645&c=Braithwell&d=16&e=15&g=363815&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&enc=1&dsFamilyId=779]

In 1289, the village obtained a Royal Charter entitling it to hold a weekly Tuesday market and an annual eight-day fair - an unusually long duration. These were long discontinued by a survey of 1652, but a cross shaft survives with an inscription in Norman French which translates as "Jesus, son of Mary, think upon the brother of our king, I beseech you". [David Hey, "Medieval South Yorkshire"]
