Austerfield is a small rural village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. It sits amid arable farmland near the market town of Bawtry and within easy reach of Doncaster, retaining a compact cluster of stone cottages and a quiet village atmosphere while many residents commute to larger centres for work.
The village is best known for St Helen's Church, a medieval church with a strong local claim to fame as the birthplace area of William Bradford, later governor of the Plymouth Colony, and it draws visitors interested in that Pilgrim Fathers connection. Austerfield’s character is shaped by its agricultural roots and by regional transport changes nearby, notably the site of the former Doncaster Sheffield Airport (once RAF Finningley), which underlines the mix of history and modern economic links in the area.
