Background
History
Cusworth was first recorded as Cuzeuuorde in the Domesday Book of 1086. By 1560, the original manor house and estate belonged to Sir Christopher Wray, who was once Speaker of the House of Commons, and his family. By 1669, it was owned by the Wrightson family. William Wrightson decided in 1740 to build the current Cusworth Hall, which existed as a home for the family until 1961 when the council purchased it and converted it into a museum, which still operates today. Cusworth has since expanded and is now a relatively affluent commuter village housing professionals working in Doncaster.
