Old milestone At the southern end of the hamlet of Wilsic by a wooden post is this old stone, ivy-covered in January 2020. It was set up about 1750 by Thomas Watson-Wentworth, the first Marquis of Rockingham. It is one of only two remaining on this route from his home at Wentworth Woodhouse to Blyth and the Great North Road. This is at 13 miles from Wentworth. Passing it next time there will be secateurs in hand to clear the vegetation. The 11 mile stone is in the wall surrounding Crookhill Golf Course in Conisbrough, SK5271 9742. — Old milestone Credit: Chris Minto

By Home Farm, Wilsic

Wilsic is a very small village but it boasts a special school that caters for children with autism and other complex needs.

Church of St John the Baptist

A large church in what would have been a small village in medieval times. The church is described across almost two full pages of the Pevsner/Harman guide to this part of the old West Riding, but entry on this occasion was barred by locked gates.

Wadworth Hall

Only the upper floors of this mid 18th century house are visible from the road, but it is described by Pevsner/Harman as 'A gracious house of no great size but nevertheless one of James Paine's most dramatic designs'.

East Lodge, Wadworth Hall

Like the hall itself, the lodges either side of the gateway are part hidden behind trees and hedges, so details are obscured. The lodges are of a similar age to the hall, whilst the door surrounds are described by Harman/Pevsner as rather in the style of Vanbrugh.
