Christ Church is a historic building in Doncaster, in South Yorkshire in England. The church was designed in 1827 by William Hurst, and was completed in 1829. It originally had a stone spire, but it was hit by lightning in 1836, and was badly damaged. In the 1850s, George Gilbert Scott enlarged the chancel, and between 1863 and 1865, several stained glass windows designed by Jean Baptiste Cappronier were installed. A new, copper covered, spire was added in 1939, and the church was Grade II* listed in 1950. The church closed in 1989, when repair costs were considered prohibitive. It was purchased by the Reachout Christian Fellowship in 1994, and reopened as a church in 2004. The church is in the Gothick style. It is built of Roche Abbey limestone, with a slate roof. The tower is at the south, and has four stages, with single storey entrance bays either side. The two lower stages are square in plan, while the upper two are octagonal, and supported by buttresses. The nave is six bays long, and the chancel is at the north end, narrower, and two bays long, with a small vestry on its west side. Inside, the pulpit and pews are original, while the other fittings are 20th century.

Doncaster Mansion House is a Grade I listed building in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. It is owned and managed by Doncaster Council. The Mansion House stands on the site of the Carmelite Friary, which had been established in Doncaster in 1350 and remained until its dissolution on 13 November 1538, after which the buildings were destroyed. During the 18th century, Doncaster's position on the Great North Road brought wealth to the town. The town's corporation was frequently called on to host entertainments, initially at the mayor's house or the Angel or Three Cranes inns. In 1719, they took a lease on a house in the High Street for holding feasts, but let this lapse around 1727. They bought a site on the High Street in 1738, with the intention of building a permanent base for entertaining, but little construction took place for several years. In 1746, James Paine was appointed as architect in 1746. Although young, Paine had already worked on Nostell Priory and had designed Heath House, both near Wakefield.Mansion Houses had already been constructed in Newcastle upon Tyne (now demolished), York and London. Whereas these other buildings contained both formal reception rooms and living quarters for the mayor, Doncaster's differed in being designed purely for entertainment, although some later mayors used space in the building as accommodation.Paine planned a building along the now established designs of Assembly Rooms. It was completed in 1748 and officially opened in 1749, the construction having cost £8,000. Paine was immediately offered more local work, starting with alterations to Cusworth Hall. He published his designs for the Mansion House in 1751. This work showed the building flanked by two other structures, marked as houses for the town clerk and recorder, but these were never part of the commission and were not built.William Lindley extended the building between 1801 and 1806, adding an attic storey, a rear banqueting hall and rear landing.
