St. John the Baptist - this ancient Norman church was formerley the parish church for Throapham, Letwell and Gildingwells. Its Norman story is told by the doorway, with a shaft on each side. The nave arcades are 13th century and the tower and the clerestory 15th. The font dates from about 1400. A brass portrait of a knight in armour is of John Mauleverer , who died three centuries ago. An interesting stone coffin with a coped lid of mediaeval times is carved in relief with a mass of trailing foliage about a cross. Fragments of stones built into the ancient porch show a cross and shears and a battered head in a quatrefoil. It was partly rebult in 1709 and restored in 1861.

In 1985 the Church Commissioners declared the Church of St. John the Baptist redundant under the Pastoral Act of 1983. Sheffield Archives hold Throapham St John Parish Records from 1547-1985, Reference:PR 115/1-12.
