Treeton history

There is evidence of Mesolithic and Neolithic settlement in this area. The name Treeton is Old English in origin and may mean ‘tree farmstead’ or ‘farmstead built with posts’ The Domesday Book of 1086 mentions that the village had two mills and a church. The present parish church the Church of St Helen was originally built in the 12th century, but may have included parts of an earlier church.

The Church of St. Helen is a Grade I listed building, and the village stocks outside the church are Grade II listed. Catcliffe Flash, to the west of the village, is a local nature reserve that is made up of a lake and marshland formed as the elevation of the land beside the River Rother dropped due to coal mining subsidence.

Treeton geography / climate

Treeton is situated on the east side of the River Rother, about 4 miles (6 km) south from the town of Rotherham and 5 miles (8 km) east from Sheffield City Centre. The village sits on the slopes of the Rother Valley, ranging from about 130 feet (40 m) to 260 feet (80 m) above mean sea level. The lower section of the village was evacuated during the floods of June 2007 because of fears that cracks in the dam at Ulley reservoir could lead to widespread flooding in the valley.
