Skelbrooke is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Hampole, in the Doncaster district, in the county of South Yorkshire, England. In 1931 the civil parish had a population of 119.[1]
The Grade II listed church of St Michael and All Angels is of medieval origin, but was rebuilt in 1872 following fire damage. There are also two Grade II listed medieval grave slabs near the church, and Skelbrooke Hall with its gate piers as well as a house that once formed part of an 18th-century stable block are likewise listed buildings.
