Welcome
Oxspring is a small but growing village community of under 500 households nestling in the eastern foothills of the Pennines a short journey from Barnsley and the M1. Sheffield, Wakefield, Leeds and Manchester are all within a 30 miles radius.

Oxspring School 1924
It is taken by where the new steps have been built as part of the entrance hall and office at the Penistone end of the building
It would be good to identify some of those on it
I know two -

Landshare
Do you like the idea of growing your own fruit and vegetables, but your garden is too small, and you can’t get an allotment? Then the following may suit you:
Playing field culvert repair
The Parish Council are currently working on a project to improve drainage on the often water logged playing field.
The Council plans to have a new Culvert piped beneath the playingfield to replace the old stone one that has collapsed in places.
Gordon’s Garden
The Parish Council owns the piece of land on Sheffield Road opposite the school, and it has recently been made into a memorial garden in memory of the late Gordon Wood, (who owned the former garage on this site).
A seat and stone carving have recently been placed here, and work is still ongoing.
Unihoc (Indoor Hockey)
Unihoc is an indoor 5-a-side hockey game. Saint Aidan's now has got 2 unihoc sets.
