The parish covers an area of 5.2 sq miles and is significantly diverse socially and economically. Three areas of Almondbury, including that served by St. Michael and St. Helen, have high levels of unemployment, in the lowest 10% of areas in England (IMD). Main employment areas are Retail, Manufacturing, Health and Social Care. Almost all areas have employment below the national average. By contrast, in the wealthiest sections of Almondbury, and in Farnley Tyas, which is mostly rural and farmland, employment is near the highest national level. Some areas have a higher than average concentration of retired residents. Our community is predominately of British born white ethnicity, approx. 86%. Black ethnicity and Asian are 4.8 % and 4.1% respectively. Just over half are Christian (Census 2011) and 4.1% are Muslim, though this latter group has increased since 2011. The overall age profile is very mixed with all ages well represented. The parish has a population of approx. 11,600 people in approx. 4900 dwellings in varied housing. Almondbury has a Conservation Area which surrounds All Hallows with Victorian 4 terraces and some weavers' cottages. There is a mix of local authority social housing (22%), almshouses and private housing, some in a very high value bracket. At Farnley Tyas the housing is predominantly private. There is limited social housing and properties are expensive, limiting opportunities for younger buyers. Public transport and other services are limited. The church provides an important social space for the community. (b) Are there any special social problems (eg high Deprivation rank is 1,862 (1=most deprived, unemployment)? 12,382=least deprived). In some parts of Almondbury Child Poverty is approx. 22% and employment, health and education are significant issues. The Community School has recently been closed for failing to provide an adequate education. There is social isolation- a third of the families has a lone parent and a third lives alone. There has been an observed decline in service provision for the elderly and vulnerable. [Data CUF] 2.

  • CASTLE HILL, ALMONDBURY a Tourist’S Guide to Interesting Archaeological Sites in West Yorkshire
    Registry of Deeds Newstead Road Wakefield, WF1 2DE 01924 306797 [email protected] CASTLE HILL, ALMONDBURY A tourist’s guide to interesting archaeological sites in West Yorkshire [This aerial photograph of Castle Hill clearly demonstrates the defensive potential of the hilltop. The image was taken in the 1990s and the building in the centre of the photograph has since been demolished.] . Description of the site Castle Hill, Almondbury, is a prominent flat-topped hill which overlooks Huddersfield and its surrounding district. The distinctive outline of the Victoria Tower, erected on the top of Castle Hill to commemorate the monarch’s Diamond Jubilee, is also a prominent landmark. However, Castle Hill’s origins lie, not with the Victorians, or with the de Laceys who built a castle there in the 12th century, but far back in prehistory. The occupation of the site probably began in Neolithic times with a small enclosure on the hilltop but what can be seen on the site today are the ramparts of a massive Iron Age hillfort which gives the hilltop its characteristic shape. The inner rampart was revetted in stone though this has been obscured by the reworking of the defences in the 12th century. The inner rampart is surrounded by a single deep defensive ditch with a further outer rampart. In places where the defensive works are at their most vulnerable, such as the single entrance to the site on the northern side of the site, they have been reinforced with further embankments. Just how much of this material was physically dug out of the ground is now difficult to judge, but a recent survey by English Heritage has suggested that the fortification of the hilltop may have taken advantage of natural geological structures to minimise the amount of excavation needed.

  • Holy Wells: a Source of Inspiration Or an Archaeological Distraction?
    The Archaeological Forum Journal: CBA Yorkshire Volume 3 | 2014 (41–46) Holy Wells: a source of inspiration or an archaeological distraction? Dave Weldrake Corresponding author Heritage Education [email protected] Keywords Holy wells, Water troughs, Archaeology, Folklore Introduction In recent years, much has been written about the subject of holy wells (e.g. Bord 2006; Bord 2008; Harte 2008; Rattue 1995; Weldrake 2013; Weldrake n.d. 1; Whelan 2001). The material is of varying quality and with few exceptions seems to concentrate on the folklore elements of the subject. This interest is reflected in English Heritage’s Single Monument Class Description which defines a holy well as follows: ‘The term holy well is used to define a wide variety of water sources which have specifically religious associations. Specifically Christian associations of springs and wells can tentatively be dated from at least the sixth century. The cult of the holy well remained strong in the British Isles throughout the Middle Ages, but was curbed at the Reformation.’ (Bond 1990). This article will argue that using folklore in this manner is a serious distraction and that a better approach would be to study all wells in terms of their construction, function and social associations. Those that have religious or ritual connotations would then be seen to be only a sub-group of a much larger assemblage. The majority of examples to be considered are from West Yorkshire where the author lives and works. Definition One of the problems in making this study is defining exactly what is being considered. In common parlance the words well and trough are often seen as being interchangeable.
