"South Yorkshire: the history and topography of the deanery of Doncaster, in the diocese and county of York"

By Joseph Hunter; published in two volumes (1828 and 1831).

I can view these at my local library, but I would love to see them available online.

A couple of books related to the Raynaldthorpe thread:

Journal of the British Archaeological Association, volume 30 - 1874

Quite a few interesting Sheffield related articles in this volume.

The Yorkshire Archaeological Journal, volume 16 - 1902

See page 96 in particular.

History of the Parish of Ecclesfield, by Jonathan Eastwood, 1862

Mentioned on this forum before, but always worth another look.
