Adwick le Street

The earliest references to the town are found in Domesday Book (1086), and the parish church of St. Lawrence dates from the 12th century. The Washington family—from which George Washington, the first president of the United States, was probably descended—occupied Adwick Hall in the town in the 16th and 17th centuries.
