Scissett

Scissett was originally in the Parish of High Hoyland, and the Wapentake of Staincross which more or less corresponds with the current Barnsley borough area.Scissett grew up around the woollen industry in the 19th century as mill owners built houses in the area for their workers.Its primary purpose is to provide recreational facilities for the benefit of the people of Scissett and surrounding areas and is overseen by a number of trustees.Scissett FC, a local school and a charity dedicated to our armed forces veterans all combine to help deliver recreational services in pursuit of our charitable objectives.http://nortonthorpesportsclub.co.uk/ The etymology is doubtful, although some sources suggest it may be from Old English side "hillside, talus, slope" (related to Old Norse siða, of similar meaning), but nothing is confirmed.
