A little history
Barnburgh's church is associated with the legend of Sir Percival Cresacre — a medieval knight who fought with a wildcat for so long that both died at the church door. The church preserves medieval features and the legend is a genuinely local piece of folklore.
The church is worth visiting for the medieval atmosphere and the Cat and Man legend. The village is typical of South Yorkshire's quiet agricultural character. Conisbrough Castle is nearby.
