Thrybergh is a village, approximately three miles away from Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
The village has been around for a long time. The ancient Romans were present in the Rotherham area and also in the nearby town of Doncaster. Doncaster Road, a thoroughfare between these two towns runs straight through Thrybergh, but although there is no evidence of this being a Roman road, Thrybergh would have been an ideal place of rest for Roman travellers making their way to Doncaster.
Thrybergh - which is mentioned in the Domesday Book - was given to William de Perci, a chief aid to William the Conqueror and founder of the great Percy family, after the Conquest in 1066.
The estate was passed on to the Normainvilles around the year 1200, and it remained with them until 1316, when Sir Adam Reresby became Lord of Thrybergh. For the next 400 or so years, an unbroken succession of sixteen generations of Reresbys held their place in Thrybergh.
Thrybergh has many schools, including Thrybergh Comprehensive, Thrybergh Primary, Dalton Foljambe Primary, [St Gerards Catholic Primary][1], and Thrybergh Fullerton Primary.
There are three churches in Thrybergh, St Gerard's Catholic, St Leonard's Church of England, and St Peter's Church of England.
Thrybergh is home to [Rotherham Golf Course][2], which, in the past used to hold famous tournaments. Par for the 6327 yards course, is 70. Simon Coumbe of Pontefract GC, holds the record of 62, which he reached during the second round of the inaugural Lee Westwood Trophy held in September 2005. He broke the previous record score of 65, jointly held by Lee Westwood and Ian Garbutt.
Thrybergh has two public houses, The Fullerton and The Reresby Arms (named after Lord Reresby). As well as this, other places include the Thrybergh Sports Centre, The Fosters Garden Centre and Fosters Petrol Station.
