Adwick upon Dearne Baines History Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York 1822
Adwick-upon-Dearne, (P.) in the wap. of Strafforth and Tickhill and liberty of Tickhill; 8 miles SW. of Doncaster; a small village belonging to Earl Manvers, except one small freehold; the soil is uncommonly fertile, though it is now rather a dull place, but the fine spa water recently found in it will probably at no distant day impart to it life and animation. Population 168.
