- Kirk Sandall, South Yorkshire (St Oswald's Church)
Though beset by canal, railway, cooling towers and industrial estate, St Oswald’s, in its spacious and peaceful churchyard, still has great charm and interest.
Saxon work is evident although the church is mainly Norman. It has 13th-century arcades, a west window from the early 14th and, finest of all, the 16th-century chapel with a notable monument to William Rokeby, once a rector at St Oswald’s.
There are also some other memorials and some interesting glass and two beautifully carved screens.

English Heritage property
Brodsworth Hall
Time really does stand still at Brodsworth Hall, one of the most unusual visitor attractions in South Yorkshire. Inside this beautiful Victorian country house almost everything has been left exactly as it was when it was still a family home. Possessions that took more than 130 years to gather together, from the grandest piece of furniture to family mementoes and humble domestic items, are still in their original places. Meanwhile the beautiful grounds, a collection of grand gardens in miniature, have been restored to their full Victorian splendour, and feature a colourful array of seasonal displays.
Last year, we welcomed over two million visitors to our churches. If each person donated just £2, this would enable us to keep our churches open, safe and watertight for you and future generations to enjoy.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

Yes i used to help my Nanna arrange the flowers and clean the church. When she died she had a tree to remember her by but I was guttered when it got chopped down last year, after 30 years. This is a great church as I have very fond memories of it.
The scariest memory I recall was been trapped in the vestry when the door handle snapped inside and the mechanism just sheared off inside I was trapped with my Nanna and my younger brother, we were shouting for nearly a hour and a half.
There were no houses around at the time we rang the bell from the belfry and the gardener came to our rescue and opened it from the inside to let us out and when we got home our mum said she would come and see where we were after 4 hours.
My Nanna was called Dorothy Mary Briggs or Dolly for short. She was devoted to the church.
If you want to look at the tree its on my Facebook page on my pictures.
Thanks Tony Briggs
