A [[Benedictine]] priory was founded at nearby Ecclesfield in c. 1273. Ecclesfield Priory's mother church was St Wandrille's Abbey in [[Normandy]]; the church at Ecclesfield had been a possession of St Wandrille's by 1142,. when this was confirmed by a papal bull of [[Pope Innocent II]]. The priory was disestablished in 1386.
