The Library at Worksop will prove useful in your research.

The parish had a local Reading Room with 800 volumes in 1850.

In 1899 the churchyard was enlarged.

A further extension was consecrated in 1934 so that the churchyard is L-shaped and very much larger with its eastern boundary now along the A60 road.

• A church was noted here in the 1086 Domesday Book.
   
• This old church from 1070 onwards had the nave and chancel taken down and enlarged, and the tower arch rebuilt and embellished.

• Following the accession of the Catholic Queen Mary the service books which had been supplied in the reign of Henry VIII and Edward VI were burnt. St John’s was one of several parishes to do this. In 1559, new service books were furnished.
   
• In 1620 George MIRIALL was charged before the Archdeacon’s Court because his wife took an ‘unquiet’ child into the church. The child caused ‘great offence’, George declined Parson BENSON’s entreaty to remove the child, and the service was abandoned!
   
• The church was restored in 1831.
   
• By 1935 the church was able to restore the Becket Chapel altar which had been discovered, along with part of the old high altar, some two feet below the present altar.
