The Church of St Peter is found at the west end of the village of Letwell, near Rotherham, in South Yorkshire. The church was built around 1375 by John Mauleverer, but has been substantially altered several times. Much of the church was later rebuilt in 1820, at the expense of Henry Gally Knight FRS, the owner of Firbeck Hall, but was largely destroyed by fire a few decades later. The tower, along with the vestry are all that remain of the church following a fire which occurred in 1867. The fire was inadvertently started by one Harry Radley, who was sexton at the time. In response to complaints from the parishioners that they were too cold, he had over-stoked the coal-fired boiler which led to the fire. The church today consists of the 14th century tower with a Victorian nave and apse. It is Grade II* listed.

When in Firbeck take a wander out onto the Old Airfield, down the left side of the church and follow the path across the field, and read the memorial to the pilots who were trained there during WW2 and the years immediately after. Firbeck is also home to Firbeck Hall, a grand Victorian manor house built in 1594 by William West.

Wentworth is a lovely village with great cycling routes to Elsecar and Thorpe Hesley
