The Church of St Peter is found at the west end of the village of Letwell, near Rotherham, in South Yorkshire.

[2] Much of the church was later rebuilt in 1820, at the expense of Henry Gally Knight FRS, the owner of Firbeck Hall, but was largely destroyed by fire a few decades later.

In response to complaints from the parishioners that they were too cold, he had over-stoked the coal-fired boiler which led to the fire.

[4] The church was re-built and decorated in its current form at the expense of Sir Thomas White, 2nd Baronet, the son of the famous soldier Sir Thomas White, 1st Baronet, of Tuxford and Wallingwells, who twice raised the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry Cavalry at his own expense.

The harmonium, dating from the 19th century, was constructed by the Estey Organ Company of Brattleboro, Vermont.
