Brief description

"St Wilfrid’s Church is the Parish Church for Cantley, Bessacarr and Branton, serving some 6,000 homes in those communities and situated some 4 miles SE of Doncaster town centre. There has been a church on the site since the 11th Century. Details of the history of St Wilfrid’s Church and the Life of St Wilfrid may be found in the ‘History’ section of our website.

St. Wilfrid’s Church, which is a Grade II* Listed Building, was one of the first churches to be restored by Sir Ninian Comper and, as such, it is one of the most beautiful and valuable buildings in the area." http://stwilfrid4.berthanet.co.uk/church-buildings

"The church dates from 1257, though substantial changes have been made since that time. The west tower was added during the fourteenth century. Two significant restorations took place in the late nineteenth century during the tenures of the Reverend William Eardley (1870–1892) and Father William Meaburn Tatham (1892–1938). The first was overseen by George Gilbert Scott in 1874,[1] and the second by the eminent ecclesiastical architect Sir Ninian Comper in 1894.[1] The work of these two architects restored the medieval interior of the church which had been lost in the period following the English Reformation. The result is Comper's finest and most complete work in the region, comprising a free standing altarpiece and reredos, canopy, hanging pyx, various statues and stained glass windows. A large and highly decorated rood screen and rood are also the work of Comper.

In 1989, owing to the increasing size of the congregation, an extension was built on the north side of the church building, almost doubling it in size."
