History of Mansfield Woodhouse
Early Origins & Roman Period
Mansfield Woodhouse is a settlement that predates even Roman Britain. Evidence of its ancient history includes the remains of Roman villas and a tessellated pavement unearthed in the 18th century by Major Hayman Rooke nottshistory.org.uk+14Wikipedia+14ambervalley.info+14. While the Domesday Book doesn’t mention it explicitly, it's likely that Mansfield Woodhouse was included within the broader entry for Mansfield Wikipedia+3Planning Portal+3southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk+3.
Medieval Era & After the Fire
By the 13th century, the site grew into a settlement of smallholders. However, a devastating fire in 1304 destroyed much of the village, including its timber-framed church. In its place rose a sturdier stone-built church dedicated to St. Edmund, which still stands today southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk+5ambervalley.info+5Wikipedia+5.
Tudor Period & Religious Turmoil
By Tudor times, Mansfield Woodhouse had become home to affluent families and thrived on farming, quarrying, and later on textiles and hosiery Alamy+15Wikipedia+15ambervalley.info+15. The Manor House, once belonging to the Digby family, featured connections to Bess of Hardwick. Notably, in 1649, the Quaker founder George Fox preached at St. Edmund’s but faced hostility—he was stoned and placed in stocks before being driven out oldmansfieldwoodhousesociety.com+3Wikipedia+3Wikipedia+3.
18th & 19th Centuries: Antiquarians & Industry
Major Hayman Rooke, an antiquarian of the late 18th century, discovered Roman relics here and the famous Major Oak in Sherwood Forest. He was later buried in the chancel of St. Edmund’s Church ambervalley.info+3Wikipedia+3Wikipedia+3. In the 19th century, quarrying in Mansfield Woodhouse supplied the magnesian limestone used in constructing the Houses of Parliament nottshistory.org.uk+15Wikipedia+15ambervalley.info+15.
Industrial Age & 20th Century
The town’s economy expanded through mining and textiles well into the 19th and 20th centuries. During the UK miners’ strike of 1984–85, coal miners at nearby Sherwood Colliery continued working as part of the Nottinghamshire Union, and the pit eventually closed in 1992. However, its sporting legacy lives on through Sherwood Colliery Football and Cricket Clubs ambervalley.info+1.
Governance & Modern Era
From 1894 to 1974, Mansfield Woodhouse was governed as an Urban District. In 1974, it merged with Mansfield and Warsop under the Local Government Act 1972 Sherwood Forest Methodist Circuit+14Wikipedia+14Wikipedia+14. Today, it’s part of the larger Mansfield urban area, with a population of around 18,500 (2011 census) Planning Portal.
