Hoyland was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Holand', and centuries later it gave Yorkshire one of its best-known novelists — Barry Hines, author of Kes, was born here in 1939.
A folly built to look out over the land
Lowe Stand, an 18th-century folly built as a lookout and hunting lodge by Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham, stands at the highest point in the area, roughly 593 feet above sea level.
Barry Hines, and a name recorded since 1086
Hoyland's name appears as 'Holand' in the 1086 Domesday survey, from the Old English for a spur of land. It later became the birthplace of novelist Barry Hines, born in 1939, whose work captured the South Yorkshire he grew up in.
