Lindrick

Lindrick was an ancient district of England. The majority of the district appears to have lain in what is now South Yorkshire, but the village of Carlton-in-Lindrick is in Nottinghamshire.[1]

This article is about the ancient district in South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. For the golf club, see Lindrick Golf Club. For the place in North Yorkshire, see Lindrick with Studley Royal and Fountains.

The name of the district is derived from the Old English for "raised, straight strip marked by lime trees".[1]

Lindrick seems to have reached as far as Lindrick Common (which gives its name to Lindrick Golf Club), Lindrick Dale, Laughton Lindrick wood, which lay next to Roche Abbey, and the Lindrick area of Tickhill.[1]
