The place: WARMSWORTH.     Church dedication: ST. PETER.     Church type: Discharged Vicarage.

Area. 1,010 acres. Strafforth and Tickhill wapentake, S.D. - Population, 362 *1; Church-room, 170; Net value, £168. --An ancient Rectory, formerly a portion of the parish of Conisbrough, in the patronage of the Hodsakes, then of the Grendons, Deyvills, from whom it came to the D'Eyrills, and from them to the Copleys of Doncaster and Batley, and is now in the heirs of Thomas Bosville, Esq. It is not charged either with Synodals or Procurations. which makes it probable that anciently it was only a Chapel belonging to Doncaster ; accordingly, in my Doncaster Lease, the lordship of Warmsworth (the tithes whereof are there let) is said to be in the parish of Doncaster. -Abp. Sharp's MS.

Patron, W. Wrightson, Esq.

The Church is valued in Pope Nicholas's taxation, at £5. 6s. 8d.; the Vicarage, in the King's books, at £6. 10s. 10d., after deducting for Synodals 1s.; and in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xviii. page 512, it is stated : " Rectory, £46 per annum. The township of Warmsworth extends into the parishes of Conisbrough and Doncaster, though two miles distant from thence, and near the Church of Warmsworth. The whole to be made one parish, and annexed to Warmsworth."
