Beautifully set in a valley landscaped by ‘Capability' Brown in the 18th century, the most striking feature of this Cistercian abbey is the eastern end of its church, built in the new Gothic style c1170.
It has one of the most complete ground plans of any English Cistercian monastery, laid out as excavated foundations.

Welcome to the best of only four surviving medieval bridge chapels in the country. It has enjoyed a long and chequered history, and is truly a hidden gem right in the heart of Rotherham.
All Hallows church, grade I listed, is a focal point in the pretty village of Harthill. The exterior has wonderful examples of architecture between the 12th and 16th centuries and inside can be seen exquisite Italian wooden carvings, a large chancel with marble floors, beautiful stained glass windows and the tomb of the 1st Duke of Leeds. The large peaceful churchyard contains many ancient monuments and the 17th century Old Schoolroom is adjacent.
Christ Church is a splendid Victorian church, built in the decorated style in 1855, when the communities of Brampton and West Melton were growing fast with the expansion of coal mining. The church windows all have delicate and unique tracery and beautiful stained glass, by Whitefriars.
