Intake: All Saints
Overview
Grid reference: SE 598 38
The church is located in a residential estate built between the Wars in the eastern part of Doncaster, taking its name from a farm which previously occupied the land and recorded since the 19th century. The original church on the site is now the church hall which stands to the north of the present church, built in the 1930s, to serve the new Intake housing estate here. This is a simple gabled brick building with a wooden bell turret. It has a foundation stone set into a wall, eroded and unreadable. It is now leased to the Scouts. The vicarage, a modest brick building of the 1950s or later, stands to the east, it is also leased out. The foundations for a new church adjacent were laid in 1940, commemorated by the foundation stone built into the west end of the present church. However, due to the War this design was never carried out, and the present church was built on the site in the early 1950s, possibly on a smaller footprint (pers comm during visit). The large churchyard is laid to grass with flower beds around the church walls within an iron fence, some mature trees in north part, no burials. The land belongs to the local authority.
