St Mary's Parish Church, Ecclesfield
St Mary's Parish Church, Ecclesfield is the ancient 'mother church' of the once extensive Ecclesfield Parish, one of the biggest parishes in England before it was dismembered in the nineteenth century. The name Ecclesfield is Anglo Saxon and means a stretch of countryside cleared of woodland (-field) with a Celtic church (Eccles). St Mary's Church has been known for hundreds of years as the 'Minster of the Moors'. A church has stood on the site since at least the early twelfth century but the present church is largely the result of rebuilding at the end of the fifteenth century in the Perpendicular Style. Important internal changes took place in the nineteenth century.
