Welcome to the website for Tankersley Parish Council. On this site you will be able to find information about the activities and work of the Parish Council.
The Parish Council is the first tier of Local Government. The next tier of government is Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, sometimes called the Primary Authority which is part of the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority.
The role of the Parish Council is to look after the interests of the Parish where it is empowered to do so, bringing any other needs of the Parish to the attention of the relevant authority.
The Parish Council also responds to consultation documents and requests from a diverse range of other bodies. You can find out more information about the role and responsibilities of a Parish Council in the About section of the site.
Tankersley is a beautiful rural village in South Yorkshire; it is located West of Barnsley, East of Penistone and North of Sheffield. The village is co-joined with Pilley, and both villages were in existence at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086. The village is ideally placed for workers to commute to Barnsley, Sheffield, Doncaster, Leeds, given its close proximity to the M1, M62 and M18 Motorways, Manchester is only 45 minutes away via the A616 and A628.
The village has strong links to the mining communities of Barnsley, and several mines operated in the locality, Wharncliffe Silkstone Colliery being the closest, and the village of Pilley still has many houses built by the colliery, alongside more modern housing developments. The Wentworth Park industrial estate is close by providing some local jobs for the area.
The historic Church of St Peters serves the village, along with a more recent St Pauls Church and a Methodist Chapel. St Peters Church, sits in a well wooded churchyard at one of the highest points in the village and was in existence before the Domesday Survey of 1086. There are several listed buildings in the village, and the film “Kes” by Barry Hines was part filmed at Tankersely Old Hall.
The village is 2 miles away from the Wentworth Castle House and Gardens which featured in the BBC “restoration” programme, and near the RSPB “Old Moor Wetlands” wild life centre. Local shops and Markets, in the neighbouring village of Hoyland are a few minutes away, but the vast Meadow Hall Shopping Mall is 10 minutes away.
