St. Helen's Parish Church
The Parish Church of Treeton is set in beautiful surroundings and enjoys a prominent position. It can be seen whichever way you approach the village
Treeton Church is one of only fifteen South Yorkshire churches mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 which states that there was a church and presbyter at Treeton.
There has been a church on this site since 1175 AD, with much later work, including an early 14th century chancel.
Pevsner describes the church as 'a confusing building' ! It has also been described as 'charmingly odd with a long 14th century chancel,and a short 15th century aisle and a tower at the west end of the other aisle'.
To find the cache- If you park at suggested waypoint and walk along the back lane to the Church and before entering the grounds you should reach GZ. There is no need to walk into the Church yard, but it is a lovely place. The Church sometimes opens particularly on the second Saturday of each month, 10 till 12 noon. Anyone who would like to see the inside of this place and even have a guided tour are more than welcome, I may even be there. Please place the cache back and well hidden and let me know if there are problems.
