On 8 November 2019, a month’s worth of rain fell in the region in 24 hours, flooding 1,500 buildings.
Five areas in Doncaster were placed under a severe flood warning meaning a “significant risk to life”, and people were advised to leave their homes for their own safety.
The village church collected food to distribute to residents and roast dinners were delivered to many of those who had remained in their homes.
In 2021, residents came together to create a book collating their experiences and photographs from the time.
The book, called Flood: The Stories of a Village Underwater, included 85 personal stories and 350 photographs, and profits went to help those still recovering from the floods.
