Wickersley is a large village and civil parish on the eastern edge of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. It sits on gently rolling countryside at the fringe of the urban area, with good road links to nearby towns and Sheffield, which has helped it become a popular residential and commuter area while still keeping a village atmosphere.
Historically an agricultural community, Wickersley retains a compact historic core around its parish church and older housing, but expanded significantly in the 20th century and now offers a mix of local shops, sports clubs and a well‑regarded secondary school. An active parish council and numerous community groups contribute to a strong local identity and regular events, so it combines suburban convenience with a notably civic-minded, village feel.
