A large Yorkshire town with a long history, Doncaster dates back to AD71, when the Romans built a fort here. The town was granted a market charter by Richard I in 1194. Doncaster is famous in sporting circles as the location of the St Leger stakes, one of the racing world's classic races. The most notable building is the 18th century Mansion House. Sir George Gilbert Scott was responsible for rebuilding the church of St George, built in 1858.
