ROTHERHAM ALL SAINTS, also known as Rotherham Minister is in Church Street, Rotherham, South Yorkshire. A small Saxon church first sat on the site in the 10th century, but that was later replaced with a Norman structure.
The current church was begun in the 14th century with the earlist part being the chancel. The grand tower is early 1400's and contains 12 bells. Several restorations took place between the 16th and 18th centuries, but the most significant was the restoration which took place between 1873 and 1875.
The nave roof was restored in the early 1990's and the 77 bosses were reguilded. The style is perpendicular, while the shape is cruciform.
Pevsner, who was originally German, became a British scholar of the history of art and, in particular, the history of architecture. He wrote a 46-volume of county guides entitled "The Buildings of England" (1951-1974), so he probably knew what he was talking about! He described this church thus - "one of the largest and stateliest churches in Yorkshire".
It was granted Minster status in 2004. |
