HISTORY

Originating from the hamlet of Sandal Parva, Kirk Sandall has a long history and is thought to have played a part in the 633 AD Battle of Hatfield. The local church dates back to this time and is named after the Anglo-Saxon king St Oswald. The gorgeous old architecture attracts visitors even today and for many years this was just a manor, a farm and a cluster of cottages. A school opened here in the mid 17th century and the current village is around a quarter of a mile away fro the original settlement and grew thanks to its canal and railway. It was the place for glass workers from around 1921. It continues to develop and is a popular part of Doncaster.
