About this Assembly
Serving, supporting and protecting our local community
The Community Assembly of Wath South is located in Wath upon Dearne (shortened to Wath or often hyphenated) which is a town south of the River Dearne in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, South Yorkshire in the British Isles. It lies north of Rotherham and almost midway between Barnsley and Doncaster.
Wath can be traced to Norman times. It appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as Wad and Waith . It remained for some centuries a rural settlement astride the junction of the old Doncaster–Barnsley and Rotherham–Pontefract roads, the latter a branch of Ryknield Street. The name has been linked to the Latin vadum and the Old Norse vath (ford or wading place).
The town received a royal charter in 1312–1313 entitling it to a weekly Tuesday market and an annual two-day fair, but these were soon discontinued. The market was revived in 1814.
