About Rotherham

The Borough of Rotherham has a population of about 250,000, and lies on the rivers Rother and Don. The town was founded in the early Middle Ages, though there were Iron Age and Roman settlements here. It was a Saxon market town and fashionable college town in the 1600s after the building of a college by Thomas Rotherham, who was born here and later became Archbishop of York, where he died in 1500. There is still a college named after him in the lovely residential area of Moorgate.
