About Us:

Whiston is a picturesque village located in South Yorkshire, close to the town Rotherham. It has a number of listed buildings; several of which have a history associated with them. The most significant of these is the Manorial Barn - the only such building of its kind in the north of England. In addition, there are a number of pleasant walks around the village; and many public houses, which provide traditional refreshment.
