      • The John Knowles Memorial Free Church of England was built following the placing of a brass cross and candlesticks on the Altar at St Peters (Hoyland ) by the new Vicar, Rev. Charles William Bennet...... a present from the parishioners of his previous church. This was considered by the parishioners of St Andrews, then the Chapel of ease(?) to be a sign of PAPIST leanings and one, Mrs. Elizabeth Bartlett, was so outraged that she had the JKMC built at her expense....naming it after her brother who died in 1899 aged 52. The Bishop Primus of the Free Church of England laid a foundation stone in (I believe) 1911 [Derek Hirst - 2001]

      • The Mission church was started in 1887 when the foundation stone was laid by the wife of the vicar Rev Ruthven Pym. It was completed in 1888.
        It was built to accommodate the industrial based congregation as opposed to that part of the congregation which was based on the Fitzwilliam estate workers at Wentworth. The book Faith in the village written by ex wentwoth Headmaster Mr Young contains much information.[Fred Winks 2010]
