Hampole is a small village and civil parish in the City of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England, close to the border with West Yorkshire. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, the eastern boundary of the parish is marked by the Great North Road (now the A1), and the parish lies in what was once the Barnsdale Forest. It had a population of 187 in 2001, increasing to 203 at the 2011 Census, which includes the neighbouring village of Skelbrooke. Hampole lies on the A638 between Doncaster and Wakefield.
==History== Hampole is mentioned in the Domesday Book as having two ploughlands, woodlands and three villagers. The name of the village derives from the Old English name of Hana and pōl, meaning ''Hana's pool'', the first part being someone's name. The priory at Hampole was founded by Avici de Tania. When the priory was closed during the Dissolution, it had a complement of 14 nuns.
