Tankersley 

Tankersley is a beautiful rural village in South Yorkshire, it is located West of Barnsley, East of Penistone and North of Sheffield. The village is co-joined with the Pilley, and both villages were in existence at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086. The village is ideally placed for workers to commute to Barnsley, Sheffield, Doncaster, Leeds, given its close proximity to the M1, M62 and M18 Motorways, Manchester is only 45 minutes away via the A616 and A628.
The village has strong links to the mining communities of Barnsley, and several mines operated in the locality, Wharnecliffe Silkstone Colliery being the closest, and the village of Pilley still has many houses built by the colliery, alongside more modern housing developments. The Wentworth Park industrial estate is close by providing some local jobs for the area, but Barnsley is well served by other Business and Enterprise Parks.

The historic Church of St Peters serves the village, along with a more recent St Pauls Church and a Methodist Chapel. St Peters Church, sits in a well wooded churchyard at one of the highest points in the village and was in existence before the Domesday Survey of 1086. There are several listed buildings in the village, and the file “Kes” by Barry Hines was part filmed at Rockley Old Hall.

The village is 2 miles away from the Wentworth Castle House and Gardens which featured in the BBC “restoration” programme, and near the RSPB “Old Moor Wetlands” wild life centre. Local shops and Markets, in the neighbouring village of Hoyland are a few minutes away, but the vast Meadow Hall Shopping Mall is 10 minutes away.

We have many sports facilities in the area, 2 local golf clubs and several Parks for Children of all ages to use, a bowling Green, and Community Centre.
