Wickersley is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England, situated 3 miles (5 km) from the centre of Rotherham.
Wickersley was once held by Richard FitzTurgis (who adopted the name 'de Wickersley), founder of Roche Abbey, and subsequently by his heirs by marriage, the de Livet (Levett) family.
[1][2] The Wickersleys later removed to Sheffield, where they built the home Broom Hall.
[5] Wickersley School and Sports College is one of the area's largest institutions with a student body of over 2,000 eleven to eighteen-year-olds and a teaching staff of over 300.
It has many high end bars and restaurants situated at its centre, because of this, Wickersley is considered to be one of the most desirable places to live in Rotherham.
