WENTWORTH, a chapelry in the parish of WATH-upon-DEARN, northern division of the wapentake of STRAFFORTH-and-TICKHILL, West riding of the county of YORK, 5 miles (N.W. by N.) from Rotherham, containing 1269 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual curacy, hi the archdeaconry and diocese of York, endowed with £400 private benefaction, and £400 royal bounty, and in the patronage of Earl Fitzwilliam. The chapel, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is principally in the later style of English architecture. A school was erected here, in 1716, by Thomas Wentworth, who endowed it with land and an annuity of £3, towards teaching and clothing fifty poor children: the master occupies the school-house and land rent-free, and receives, besides the above named annuity, one of £ 12 from Earl Fitzwilliam, and another of £2 left by Ann Pickles, in 1669.
