The Origin of Cusworth Estate
Ancient records lead us to believe that
Cusworth, originally known as Cuzeuuorde, was
owned by a gentleman called Roger, in the
eleventh century.
William de Warene (whose signature appears
on the ancient Doncaster Royal Charter)
according to the Domesday Book of 1086, of
Coningsburg (now Conisbrough) owned Cusworth
but later sold the estate to Alward de Cusceworde.
The lands then passed to his son Bernulfus in
1180 who in turn passed the lands on to Robert
Beleham and his son Hugo. William de Beleham,
son of Hugo, later sold the estate to Ralph de
Freschvile and other parts to be owned by Robert
de Finglay and William Enesam.
In 1252 the manor (which had previously
been a wooden castle situated on a mound to
the West of the present park) and estate belonged
to Robert Tille de Cusceword, a descendant of
the earlier owner. About the time of John de
Cusceword, who owned these lands in 1312,
the name of 'Cusworth' had altered from Cusce-
word to Cuscewood. Trouble broke out be-
iween Louis of France and Henry III during
the fourteenth century and most French titles in
England had to be changed and most lands 
confiscated, leaving this district under the name
of Cusseworth, Cucewhart, and now Cusworth.
William de Ledes then took possession of
Cusworth and in 1399 passed it on to John
Mauleverer and his wife Joan. But in 1483 Robert,
Mauleverer was revealed of having no right or
claim to the manor of Cusworth.
In 1500 Nicholas Kniveton acquired Cusworth,
but six years later John Kniveton was dispossessed
of the estate.
Cusworth then passed to a certain Sir John
Cutte, but was not long before it became the
ownership of Sir William Gasgoigne and his wife
Margaret, who was the daughter of Sir Thomas
Fitzwilliam of Aldwark and sister of William
ritzwilliam, K.G., Earl of Southampton. The
iritzwilliam residence other than at Aldwark,
was also at Sprotbrough which later passed to
Sir Godfrey Copley who demolished the old
mansion in 1671 and shortly after built the
beautiful Sprotbrough Hall, demolished in 1926
as a result of being the burden of heavy taxation.
Richard Bryghous, in 1556, owned Cusworth
and later passed it on to Thomas Wormeley.
The Wray family were the next to  have
Cusworth and lived there for a little over a century.
The most notable and last member to reside at
Cusworth was Sir Christopher Wray, who was, in
the sixteenth century, the Chief Justice of the
King's Bench. After the death of Sir Christopher
Wray the manor and estate were held by the King,
but was still the home of the Wray family.
Eventually the Wray family reclaimed all
rights to Cusworth, but it was on 3rd February,
1669, that the Wrays' ceased being in residence,
for the house and estate were sold to Robert
Wrightson of Hemsworth, the original ancestor
of the present estate.
