St Bernard & St Cecilia serves its own congregation, Christ Church takes its title from Hillsborough and Wadsley Bridge together, and the church at Middlewood Hospital belongs to the hospital site rather than to any street.
What is the history of Wadsley Bridge?
Birley Old Hall is the oldest name handed over. It stands with Birley House and with The Orchard and its adjoining stable, three protected holdings among the housing and small premises filling the rest of the suburb. Middlewood Hospital keeps a church of its own.
Christ Church carries Hillsborough and Wadsley Bridge together in its title, St Bernard & St Cecilia sits on the same South Yorkshire ground, and no founding year for the place appears anywhere in the record.
Where is Wadsley Bridge?
