Killamarsh is a town and civil parish in North East Derbyshire, bordering Sheffield and South Yorkshire to the North West. Killamarsh is surrounded by, in a clockwise direction from north, Rother Valley Country Park, Wales, Kiveton, Woodall, Harthill, Barlborough, Spinkhill, Renishaw, Eckington, and the Sheffield suburbs of Oxclose, Halfway and Holbrook. Over the years, South Yorkshire and Sheffield have tried to merge the town into the ceremonial county, but disagreements have prevented this, despite Killamarsh having an "0114" dialing code and a Sheffield address and postcode.
Killamarsh was mentioned in the Domesday Book with the name Chinewoldemaresc or Chinewolde meaning "Cynewalds Marsh". There are a number of smaller communities within the town. Norwood, Nethergreen, Westthorpe and Upperthorpe surround the main town centre.
The parish church of St. Giles contains gravestones dating back to the Saxon era as well as masonry work from the 12th century, and many stained glass windows. A number of public houses in Killamarsh are over 300 years old. Domesday records Killamarsh as belonging to Hascoit Musard and being valued at 12 pence.
