St John The Evangelist Church : Denby

The church sits quietly in Denby village, just a short drive south of Sheffield, and it's one of those places that rewards a proper nose around if you're camping nearby. St John The Evangelist is Victorian - built in the 1840s - with the kind of solid, no-nonsense architecture that speaks to the industrial heritage of South Yorkshire rather than shouting about it.

Inside, there's decent stained glass and the usual church fixtures, but what makes it worth a visit is how it sits within the village itself. Walk around the churchyard and you get a real sense of local history through the gravestones. The building's also worth photographing if you're into Victorian ecclesiastical architecture.

Honestly, you're looking at fifteen minutes to half an hour here maximum, unless you're genuinely into church interiors. It's not a destination on its own - think of it as a natural stop if you're exploring Denby village or on a broader drive around the area. Families with young kids might find it quiet enough to be interesting for a bit, but they won't stay long.

Access should be straightforward during daylight hours, though it's worth ringing ahead or checking locally if you're planning to visit at specific times. If you're staying at Ingfield Farm Camping - practically on the doorstep - or any of the other sites dotted around the area like High Lea Farm or Beesknees Glamping, it's an easy addition to a morning walk. Free to look around, which is always a bonus.
