Introduction
During the investigations into the family history of the 'Trout' family, the writer came much into contact with matters relating to the parish of Arksey - cum - Bentley, and becoming interested, decided to record collectively notes relating to that parish.
Arksey is a small village two miles out of Doncaster, towards the North, and contains a church, almshouses etc.
Bentley, which formerly was in the same parish, is now a separate parish, a new church having been built in.......This village is now rapidly being built up, the Bentley Colliery co having sunk coalpits there.
Arksey is in the Doncaster Division.......Lower Strafforth and Tickhill Petty Sessional Division, ditto Wapentake, Rural Deanery of Doncaster, archdioconale and Diocese of York (Ebor)(Domesday Book for Yorks, Yorks Arch Socy Jour* page 353 vol... states Wapentake of Osgoldcross).
The population in 1891 (census returns) was 1880 (the entire parish).
Arksey is a most ancient village, having in the neighbourhood several moats and mounds, probably Roman military works - The Roundabout, Arksey; Moat Hill, Bentley etc, and is mentioned many times in old records as i.e. Archesei, Archeseia (Domesday Book), Arkesay, Arkesey (Kirkby's Inquisition), etc.
