Mabel, wife of William de Lemare; and Clemence, wife of Eudes de
Longviliers. Maud married thirdly Gerard de Glanvill but had no issue
by him. A succession of charters to the monastery of Monk Bretton, which
Adam fitz Swein founded, indicates that her eventual heirs were by her
second husband John Malherbe - her grandchildren, Mabel de Lemare, wife
of Geoffrey de Nevill, and John de Longviliers.

There are no signs of any fortifications in the present day village The area seems to have comprised 3 manors, i.e. Worsbrough & Worsbrough Dale, Rockley and Darley. The first known Lord of the manor of Worsbrough appears to have been Ailric, the father of Swaine , it follows that the manor must have passed to his son Adam Fitz Swain who in 1156, founded the Monastery at Monk Bretton or Lund as it was then known. After Adam died in 1158, the manor passed to one of his daughters, Matilda, who handed it over to her daughter Clementia. Clementia married an Eudo de Longvilliers. This Clementia in 1249, gave all her lands including Worsbrough, to the Priory of Nun Appleton, near York. At the dissolution the manor passed to the Crown and from then to a succession of private individuals.
