# St Peter, Tankersley

St Peter’s is a Grade II* parish church on Black Lane, Tankersley, South Yorkshire, in the Diocese of Sheffield: a fourteenth- and fifteenth-century manorial church with iron gates by Edwin Lutyens.

## Overview

Historic England lists a church of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, with the north aisle wall rebuilt in 1881. The fabric is ashlar sandstone, with rubble walling to the chancel and nineteenth-century tiles to the chancel roof. The plan has a west tower, three-bay nave with north aisle and south porch, and a two-bay chancel with north organ chamber and vestry, in Decorated style with reticulated tracery. The tower has a north-east vice, a three-light west window with an 1881 datestone beneath, louvred two-light belfry openings, and an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. The rebuilt south porch has iron gates by Lutyens, 1901, in a quadrant-moulded ogee arch; the porch contains a cavetto-moulded south door and medieval stones in the side walls. A sundial dated 1789 stands at the south-west corner.

A church at Tankersley is recorded in Domesday Book. Saxon stone is reported built into the outer south wall of the chancel. Visits can be arranged through the parish; the church has level access to the main areas.
