The village has been included within the boundaries of Rotherham town since 1894, having previously been divided between the townships of Kimberworth and Wentworth.[2] Historically the village was known for coal mining and nail making.[3] It has an Anglican church, Holy Trinity, built in 1839 chiefly at the cost of Earl Fitzwilliam and the Earl of Effingham.[4] There is no post office, one petrol station and four public houses. Claim to fameJohn Wesley spent some time in the village where he preached. He lodged at Barley Hall (now demolished). Older residents and families in Thorpe Hesley, will remember that a Walt Disney film was produced in the village: Escape from the Dark. The film was retitled The Littlest Horse Thieves for its release in the USA. The BBC TV Series Play for Today had a two part story titled The Price of Coal filmed at the colliery on Wentworth Road; this mine has now been closed and the colliery demolished. Coal minesCoal has been mined in and around the area of Thorpe Hesley for at least 800 years. Monks from the Cistercian Abbey of Kirkstead, in Lincolnshire, had forges and other property in this part of the country and mined coal and ironstone locally. Thorpe Hesley had the distinction of having three modern-day coal mines. Which were closed in the 1970s and 1980s and have been completely demolished. The land surrounding the area of the Barley Hall site has been landscaped and is now a small nature reserve. In January 2013 permission was given for the Hesley Wood colliery spoil heap to be processed to recover fuel, and to restore woodland on the site.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.citypopulation.de/php/uk-england-yorkshireandthehumber.php?cityid=E35001076|title=Thorpe Hesley (South Yorkshire, Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom) - Population Statistics and Location in Maps and Charts|website=www.citypopulation.de|accessdate=10 July 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/24892/units|title=History of Thorpe Hesley, in Rotherham and West Riding - Historical administrative units and statistics|website=www.visionofbritain.org.uk|accessdate=10 July 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/24892|title=History of Thorpe Hesley, in Rotherham and West Riding - Map and description|website=www.visionofbritain.org.uk|accessdate=10 July 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JBSoAwAAQBAJ|title=Thorpe Hesley, Scholes & Wentworth Through Time|first=Mel & Joan|last=Jones|date=28 February 2012|publisher=Amberley Publishing Limited|accessdate=10 July 2017|via=Google Books}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-20956749 |work=BBC News |date=9 January 2013|title=Thorpe Hesley coal reclamation plan approved|accessdate=8 June 2013}} External links{{commons category|Thorpe Hesley}}
