Church of All Hallows, Harthill

About

The All Hallows Church is an Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Sheffield, located in Harthill, South Yorkshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building.

All Hallows Church was commissioned by William de Warenne, son-in-law of William the Conqueror, circa 1080 AD. William de Warenne was granted vast land holdings for his part in the Norman invasion, including Harthill manor. The tower of the church is mainly 15th century, but the nave arcades were built when the Norman style was passing. The old font has a Jacobean cover, there is a fine old chest, and the modern woodwork is richly carved. The tower originally contained eight bells. Over the centuries, two bells were lost. According to Garbutt's 1950 history, the six remaining bells were dated from 1660 to 1889. They were replaced by the current set in 1937. In 1999, the church was valued at £1.25 million for insurance purposes, compared to £689 in 1831. The historical inscriptions inside All Hallows Church have been transcribed (see here dead link).
