Brigstock

Brigstock is an ancient settlement, dating back to the Bronze Age or Saxon period.

[5] During the Middle Ages, Brigstock was an administrative hub for the Rockingham Forest, and was granted a market charter in 1426.

The villagers led by Simon Montague and Mr Chany tried to stop labourers cutting timber in the park.

Next the village women protested at workmen clearing trees and brush in the park.

The tomb of Robert Vernon, 1st Baron Lyveden (1800-1873), a Liberal Party politician, is located within the church of St Andrew.
