Tickhill is a small town in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster (part of South Yorkshire, England), on the border with Nottinghamshire. It lies 8 miles south of Doncaster, between Maltby and Harworth, on the conjunction of the A631 and A60 roads, and adjacent to the A1(M) motorway. It is located at 53° 26' North, 1° 6' 40" West, at an elevation of around 20 metres above sea level.
The origins of the name 'Tickhill' are unclear. A local historian, Tom Beastall, suggested that the hill on which the castle stands once belonged to the 'Tica' family and was thus knowns as 'Tica's Hill'. Alternatively, the Rev John Hunter published an article in 1844 in which he proposed that the name is a corruption of 'The Wick Hill'. Wick was an old yorkshire name for a fortified mount. In a Yorkshire dialect, The Wick Hill' might be prounounced as 'Th'Wick HIll'.
Notable buildings in Tickhill include the substantial ruins of Tickhill Castle which contains a private residence leased by the Duchy of Lancaster, St Mary's Church - a large thirteenth century parish church and the buttercross.
