History
Extract from White's Directory of Sheffield & Rotherham 1911
Treeton is a parish, township and pleasant village on the banks of the River Rother, with a station on the Sheffield and Chesterfield section of the Midland Railway, used also by the Great Central Railway.
It is in the Rotherham Union, county court district, and petty sessional division, Catcliffe Polling District, and in the rural deanery of Rotherham, archdeaconry of Sheffield diocese of York. The village is lighted by electricity the power being derived from the Rother Vale Collieries Limited. The Church of St. Helens, an ancient structure, and one of the very few in Hallamshire mentioned in the Domesday Survey, was, for the most part erected in the middle of the 13th century, although the north arcade of the nave and the chancel arch bear unmistakeable signs of Transitional character; it consists of nave, aisles, chancel, vestry,and a square embattled tower containing 6 bells, three of which were added in 1892 ? There are several old monuments and brasses to members of the Watkins, Cooke, Taylor and Linley families. The chancel was fully restored in 1869
By a Local Government Order dated November, 1877, a detached part of Treeton was amalgamated with Wales.
