What is "hexthorpe"

Hexthorpe is a small village located on the edge of the town of Doncaster. Hexthorpe lies in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the area's shape resembles a rhombus, with borders with Balby and Doncaster town centre, separated by railway lines and the river separating the area from the villages of Sprotborough, Newton and Cusworth. A grade II listed building, the Hexthorpe House, was a well known pub in the area. The pub front was listed for historic reasons. Following a fire, the pub remained derelict for a few months and the council demolished the remains. The old pub sign was saved and has now been erected in Hexthorpe Flatts Park.
