History

The manor of Cadeby was held in medieval times by the Norman baronial Fitzwilliam family, and later by their descendants, the Copley baronets.[2] Later, it was inherited by barrister Thomas Levett, a native of High Melton, who sold to his brother, York barrister John Levett, who in turn sold it to Edmund Hastings, Esq., of Plumtree, Nottinghamshire.[3]

Cadeby Quarry

Close to the village is Cadeby Quarry, a site of special scientific interest, which was notified in 1977 for its geological interest. The site covers 240 acres (97 hectares) of the old quarry.[4] It is one of 35 sites of special scientific interest in South Yorkshire.
