Hooton Pagnell

Hooton Pagnell

Hooton Pagnell is a village and a civil parish in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England, on the border with West Yorkshire. It lies on the B6422 road, and is located at approximately coord|53|34|N|1|16|W|, at an elevation of around 80 metres above sea level.

The village received a Royal Charter in 1253 entitling it to hold a market on Thursdays and an annual three-day fair. A butter cross was built, the base of which survives, but the market and fair soon ceased. [David Hey, "Medieval South Yorkshire"]

Much of the property in the village belongs to the estate of Hooton Pagnell Hall, which has been in the family of former Lord Mayor of London Sir Patience Warde since the 17th century.

Close to the hall is the parish church of "All Saints": a Norman square-towered church, restored in the 1870s.
