THE TOWN OF CONISBROUGH AND CONISBROUGH CASTLE
The name of the town of Conisbrough is older than the establishment of the present castle. It is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Cyningesburh which suggests that the area belonged to one or other of the Anglo-Saxon kings, before the Norman Conquest. At the time of the conquest the manor of Conisbrough was held by King Harold who was defeated in the Battle of Hastings. Conisbrough is famous for the castle, and this fame has been spread world-wide by Sir Walter Scott’s novel Ivanhoe. Hence, The Ivanhoe Trust was founded in 1986 as a joint venture between Doncaster Council and The Dartington Trust of North Devon, and this Trust now manages the castle and Visitor Centre. In 1992 the Trust and English Heritage embarked upon a project to restore the roof and floors to the castle keep which had been missing since the sixteenth century. On the 1st April 1995 the keep of Conisbrough Castle was re-opened to the public. Today, Conisbrough Castle is regarded as having one of the finest Norman keep towers anywhere in England.The town itself has a wealth of local facilities featuring a number of shops and is famous for the Earth Centre, an Active Park for Leisure and Learning, also providing a selection of outdoor activities, intriguing exhibitions, unusual gardens and food and retail outlets. There are also a number of public houses, a primary school, a good college, banks, a local church, doctors and dentists in the surrounding area.

'Ownhome Scheme'
Ownhome is designed to help people who can't afford to buy a suitable home. It is available for key workers and first time buyers and in either case if your total household income is less than £60,000 pa
Once you have qualified for an Ownhome loan from Places for People, you will need to qualify for a mortgage from The Co-operative Bank in order to be offered the Ownhome package.
Ownhome is provided by a partnership between Places for People and The Co-operative Bank. OwnHome is part-funded by the government, and is designed to help people who cannot currently afford to purchase suitable accommodation, make their first step onto the property ladder.
Places for People could lend you between 20 and 40% of the value of your new home - with no interest payments for the first five years.
The Co-operative Bank could offer you a choice of repayment mortgages from their award winning range on the remainder.
For example - this means that if you qualify for a mortgage of £135,000, you could buy a property worth up to £225,000.
After five years you would be charged a fixed rate of 1.75% interest on your Ownhome loan each year. After a further five years this would increase to a fixed rate of 3.75%.
