Who We Are
We are an Anglican Parish Church based in the historic village of Wentworth, 4 miles from Rotherham.
Together with Harley Mission Church we serve the villages of Wentworth, Harley, Lea Brook and Street.
We are a diverse community called by and united in Jesus Christ the Light of the World. Our mission is to shine as lights for Christ.
Holy Trinity Wentworth and Harley Mission Church are in the Tankersley Deanery of the Diocese of Sheffield which is part of the Church of England.

The Parish of Wentworth – Holy Trinity and Harley is committed to upholding the highest standards of safeguarding to ensure the safety and well being of everyone, with particular attention to children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
Accessibility
We seek to offer a warm and inclusive welcome to all and want our churches to be places where everyone, regardless of age, background, or ability can participate fully in worship, fellowship and ministry.
Wentworth has a step free entrance, a hearing loop system and large print hymn books. Unfortunately, we do not have an accessible toilet at present.
We have recently (2025) conducted an accessibility audit and are working to implement its recommendations.
