About this Assembly
Serving, supporting and protecting our local community
The Community Assembly of Cantley is located in a village and civil parish in the City of Doncaster in South Yorkshire in the British Isles. The village lies adjacent to Bessacarr, separated by Bawtry Road. The second part of the name is the Old English – lēah meaning ' a clearing, pasture, meadow'. This is suffixed either to Canta , an Old English hypocorism or the Brittonic cant meaning 'a circumference, a boundary' and 'a division, share of land' (Welsh cant).
Cantley Hall was probably a home from around the 7th or 8th century, owned by a Saxon called Tochi prior to the conquest of England by the Normans in 1066. By the late 15th century the name of Cantley had been established and remained while the residents of the estate were the Smith family.
Most of Cantley was built after the Second World War, with many of its houses 1950s built semi-detached or small terraces. It mainly consists of housing estates, some council estates, plus a large park and areas of woodland.
