Community Assembly of Worksop
Serving, supporting and protecting our local community
About us
The Community Assembly of Worksop is located in a market town in the Bassetlaw District in Nottinghamshire, England. Worksop was part of what was called Bernetseatte (burnt lands) in Anglo-Saxon times. The name Worksop is likely of Anglo-Saxon origin, deriving from a personal name 'We(o)rc' plus the Anglo-Saxon placename element 'hop' (valley). The first element is interesting because while the masculine name Weorc is unrecorded, the feminine name Werca (Verca) is found in Bede's Life of St Cuthbert. A number of other recorded place names contain this same personal name element.
In the Domesday Book of 1086, Worksop appears as 'Werchesope'. Thoroton states that the Domesday Book records that before the Norman Conquest, Werchesope (Worksop) had belonged to Elsi, son of Caschin, who had 'two manors in Werchesope, which paid to the geld as three car'. After the conquest, Worksop became part of the extensive lands granted to Roger de Busli.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
