| AdminHistory | The parish of Woodsetts was formed out of the parish of Anston (although prior the building of St George's Church, many of the inhabitants of Woodsetts would have found it easier to attend the church at Laughton rather than Anston).
In May 1841, Woodsetts was separated from Anston and together with Gildingwells (which separated from Throapham, St John) the two hamlets were joined with the extra-parochial hamlet of Wallingwells to form the new parish of Woodsetts.
A total of £1,100 was raised by subscription, mostly from Sir Thomas Wollaston White of Wallingwells and Henry Gally Knight of Firbeck Hall, and a church was erected on a site donated by the Duke of Leeds. The original St George's Church was a simple, square structure with plastered walls and a gallery and was consecrated on 18th September 1841.
In 1975, the parish of Woodsetts was united with Firbeck and Letwell (creating the joint Benefice of St Martin, Firbeck, with St Peter, Letwell and St George, Woodsetts).
St George's Church, Woodsetts, is situated on Dinnington Road and is in the Deanery of Laughton. |
