"The parish of Wath-upon-Dearne is so denominated in consequence of the church having been placed at the vill of Wath. Which place indeed appears, from the fact that it stands first when two or three of the manors which compose this parish are mentioned together in the Domesday Survey, to have been considered the most important place in this district in Saxon Times. The church for this wide extent of country having been placed there, has contributed to maintain for it a certain superiority among the vills of this parish, though the principal interested undoubtedly rests upon Wentworth."

"It is remarkable that neither church nor mill had been erected; though the ratio was high of the cleared to the uncleared land, and the population must therefore have been considerable. In cases like this, there is a temptation to suspect the soundness of the argument, from the silence of Domesday, to the non-existence of a Church in the times before the Conquest; especially when, as in this instance, we find the church dedicated to All-Saints."

"No church is mentioned in the Domesday survey of Darfield, and it seems probable that this church and the church of Wath were contemporaneous erections, and the works of the same parties. We have an interesting proof of the existence of the church of Darfield within a very few years of the date of Domesday. ..."
