High Hoyland Parish Church is on the road between Darton and Clayton West. The present church dates from the 12th century replacing a 10th century wooden church. The stone in the present tower comes from Woolley Edge Quarry and was given by Sir Thomas Wentworth in 1662. The mason was John MOORE and the carpenter Thomas HAWKSWORTH. The church was rebuilt in the late 18th century by the Wentworths of Bretton Hall and again restored in 1907-8. The 1090 font was presented to St. Aiden's church, Skelmanthorpe, by Sir Walter Spencer Stanhope after it had been used as a pig trough at Bilham Grange. The Bells are at St. Wilfred's church, Harrogate. The clock dates from Queen Anne, 1702-14. The mounting block in the wall marks the place where suicides were passed over to be buried without a service. The Saxon crosses from the church wall are now at Cannon Hall Museum. The churchyard is divided into natural boundaries, the numbers running left to right. Numbers beginning with 'T' refer to the map made by South Yorkshire Record Office where the map can be inspected. Names in capital letters are those of the stonemasons who made the grave fixtures.
