About Birdwell

The Church of St. Mary is the parish church in Worsbrough Village in South Yorkshire, England. It is a Church of England church in the Diocese of Sheffield. The building is Grade I listed and was built in the 12th century, however evidence of pre-Norman Conquest stonework suggests an older building on this site.

Read more Parts of the chancel are early Norman but the church underwent several alterations in the 14th and 15th century including the installing of the south door with its Gothic inscription which dates to 1480. Seventy five miners who were killed in the 1849 Darley Main Colliery disaster in Worsbrough Dale lay buried in the churchyard in a mass grave.
