Hello one and all,

first off my apologies for getting dam lazy and not posting on here and letting Sheffield take a back seat for a while, well no more! After a fantastic night out in Sheffield, i rolled home around 4.30 this morning and couldn't get to sleep. For some reason i thought a bike ride would be a good idea so headed down to treeton dyke. At this point i remembered the church was undergoing repair work (thanks to gibbo for first saying this) I began what was the most difficult climb to date. The view were amazing and i was treated to an amazing sunrise. Below is a little history of the church so enjoy!

The Parish Church of Treeton is set in beautiful surroundings and enjoys a prominent position. It can be seen whichever way you approach the village

Treeton Church is one of only fifteen South Yorkshire churches mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 which states that there was a church and presbyter at Treeton.

There has been a church on this site since 1175 AD, with much later work, including an early 14th century chancel.

Pevsner describes the church as 'a confusing building' ! It has also been described as 'charmingly odd with a long 14th century chancel,and a short 15th century aisle and a tower at the west end of the other aisle'.
