Loversall
Loversall

Loversall is a village and civil parish in the City of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England. It has a population of 128, increasing to 156 at the 2011 Census.The village consists mainly of residential properties and farm buildings. There is also a popular children's nursery. Although there was once a village shop there are no shops currently located within the village. However, there is a major supermarket adjacent to Loversall Parish, within the development known as Woodfield Plantation. There are also a small number of shops and a Post Office in the adjacent village of Wadworth. Loversall Lakes (Quarry Farm) is a popular fishing facility and periodically the fields around Loversall are used for clay pigeon shooting. St Katherines Church is a Grade II* listed building. It appears to have been built before 1207 by the Fossard family, who owned the Manor of Hexthorpe under Count Robert de Mortain (half brother to William the Conqueror). Within the churchyard lies an early 14th-century tomb chest which is also Grade II* listed. Loversall Hall, next to the church, is a large but plainly-built house, its principal front built by the Fenton family of Leeds between 1808 and 1816, although the buildings at the rear are probably seventeenth century. Loversall was part of the manor of Doncaster, and its church, dedicated to St Katherine, was technically a chapel of ease in the parish of Doncaster, rather than a fully-fledged parish church. There are a number of working farms in the Parish, including Quarry Farm adjacent to the A60 and Loversall Farm, the farmhouse for which is located within the village. Pear Tree Farm, also within the village, is no longer a working farm but the farmhouse, thought to be around 250 years old, remains in residential use.

St Peter's Church, Warmsworth
St Peter's Church, Warmsworth

St Peter's Church is the parish church of Warmsworth, south-west of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, in England. The original St Peter's Church was Mediaeval. It was restored in the Georgian period, and rebuilt in the Victorian era. In 1939, a new St Peter's Church was commissioned by Reverend Herbert Raison, on a site half-a-mile from the original, and was funded by selling the old site. The church was designed by Brundell & Faran, and built by P. P. Taylor. It was consecrated in 1942; the National Churches Trust claims that it was the only church in England to be consecrated during World War II. It was mentioned in a propaganda broadcaster by William Joyce. In 2003, the church was Grade II listed. The church is built of brick, which is painted and rendered, leading to the local nickname of the "White Church". The roof is covered in blue and green pantiles. The church has a wide nave, with a west porch, and a chancel with an octagonal dome. To the left of the chancel is the Lady Chapel, and to the right is the vestry. The porch has triple arched doorways, and most of the windows are narrow and round-headed. The vestry has a brick chimney stack.Inside the church, there are stairs up to a west gallery, which contained a 19th-century organ. Items brought from the old church include a poor box and 19th century stone font. The nave has a wood block floor in a herringbone pattern, and there are a wooden pulpit and lectern, and painted wooden pews. There are marble steps up from the nave to the sanctuary, and again up to the altar. The altar is faced in similar marble, and there are 1930s statues of Christ, Mary, and St Peter. The Lady Chapel contained various fragments from the old church, including tombstones and memorial tablets, and a Mediaeval piscina.
