Mattersey
Mattersey is a village in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 8 miles north of Retford and sits on the border of Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire, being just under 14 miles from Doncaster. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 779.〔("Area: Mattersey CP (Parish)" )〕
Within the parish lies the settlement of Mattersey Thorpe, originally consisting of a few farms. During World War II many poorly built bungalows were constructed. The streets thus formed were named after prominent figures of the war. (Keyes, Bloomfield, Churchill, Bader, Wavell, Cunningham etc.)
The parish church of All Saints is 14th century. About a mile to the east of the village are the remains of Mattersey Priory on a gravel island in the River Idle.〔Pevsner, Nikolaus. 1979. ''The Buildings of England:Nottinghamshire''. pp 177-178. Harmondsworth, Middx. Penguin.〕
On 21 January 1999, four people died when a Tornado GR1 jet from RAF Cottesmore collided with a Cessna light aircraft above the village. The Cessna crashed close to a school while the Tornado dived into woodland, exploding on impact. One pilot managed to eject from the Tornado but later died from his injuries.
