This Place of Worship was founded after the 9th century, and we understand it is still open.
The ecclesiastical parish of Holmesfield was formed in 1857 from the parish of Dronfield. St Swithun's church was rebuilt in 1826 on the site said to have been occupied by churches since the 9th century. It is "a plain building of stone, consisting of chancel, erected in 1898, nave, with north and west galleries, and an embattled western tower with pinnacles containing one bell". The register of baptisms dates from 1724, marriages 1720-53, and burials from 1724, but "is very imperfect at the commencement".

The Religious Census of 1851 (HO 129/) for "St Swithen" gives an estimated congregation on March 30th of 12 at morning service, 70 in the afternoon, and 30 Sunday Scholars at both morning and afternoon class. It was completed by Thomas Hirst, Perpetual Curate, of Dronfield, Sheffield, who also mentioned the re-erection in 1826.

Holmesfield is an ancient manor, and at the time of the Domesday Survey was in the hands of the Deincourts. At the dissolution of the monasteries, the tithes (then in the hands of the Prior of Lenton, Nottingham) were granted by Henry VIII. to William Coffin. Coffin was executed in the following reign of Edward VI. for participating in the Devonshire risings, after which they were given by the King to his "trusty friend and counsellor Sir William de Cavendish". But in 1912, when Kelly's Directory was published, from which the above history has been condensed, the lord of the manor was the Duke of Rutland.

At the time, Cartledge, Horseley [sic] Gate, Millthorpe and Lydgate were said to be places in the parish.
