Looks like they have redrawn the old Wapentake of Manley, reuniting Thorne with the Isle of Axholme

What did they ever do to deserve that?

Conisbrough and Rawmarsh is a bizarre constituency. Stretches from Warmsworth to Parkgate and Wentworth and nearly to Hoyland. But is pinched in the middle to exclude Mexborough, the central town in that region. That looks like one that's been put together by a committee that has zero idea of local loyalties and identities.
