- Join us as we take a look at the history of The Chapel of Our Lady in Rotherham.
Situated on a bridge, it is one of only 4 bridge chapels left in the UK, and it is considered the best preserved one.
This place has seen it all. from opening as a chapel, to becoming a prison, an almshouse, a newsagents and finally, reverting back to a chapel.
The chapel is open to visitors on occasions. See www.chapelonthebridge.co.uk for updates and opening times.

there are only 3 bridge chapels,this one wakefield and st ives cambridge rotherhams is the best preserved
Indeed correct. I believe the figure of 4 is disputed by Derby, who’s chapel was originally on a bridge but is now at the side of the new one.
We’re going to attempt to get to the other 3 (or 4 depending who you ask 😉) whilst on our travels!
Nice
Brilliant! So informative!!
Brilliant.
Easy to see that the Warrene's used the same Architects/Masons to build the Bridge and Chantry at Rotherham as they did in Wakefield and most of their other Estates too.
Good informative video that. If only more people took more interest in the history of Rotherham.
I think that you could say the same for most of the Northern towns. Perhaps their councils should have more belief that visitors would come. I certainly believe that of Huddersfield, where I live.
I would love if you could do a visit to and find out a bit of history about the chapel of ease at Eckington cemetery, its a stunning building, the gargoyles and the carvings blow my mind! Theres a lot of history in the graveyard itself as well.
@@mamajusmagickalemporium2655 added to the ever growing list of places to go 😊
@@tourobscure yay! Oh you could do the old engine house at eckington on the same day, it's very close, 10-15 mins on foot!
@@mamajusmagickalemporium2655 that is already on my list. Quite a few interesting bits down that neck of the woods. Tibshelf or Rother Valley for the next explore 😊
@@tourobscure I've never heard of tibshelf I need to look this up 🤣
@@mamajusmagickalemporium2655 Tibshelf to most is just a service stop on the M1, but tonight I’ve been researching about quite a significant thing in Tibshelf, not just of local history interest, but national..stay tuned
