Come and visit this extraordinary Grade 1 listed Gothic church commissioned by the local industrialist Edward Akroyd 160 years ago. It was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and considered to be his finest church with exceptional stained glass. Scott also designed the model village Akroydon for Edward Akroyd’s mill workers and the old manor house was later donated to become Bankfield Museum. As part of the anniversary celebrations of The Churches Conservation Trust and the building itself the dedicated volunteer team are working to bring this generally unused building back into the community, to be an exceptional venue for events and exploring the history of the area. Sat 14, Sun 15, Sat 21 & Sun 22 Sept 11am – 3pm All Souls, Haley Hill, HX3 6DR Time & Place: Solo Art Exhibition by Jane Austin The local watercolour artist Jane Austin is holding a third solo exhibition of paintings, this year reflecting the rich heritage of the church, the Akroydon model village and Halifax itself, rooted firmly in the Industrial Revolution. The drawings from several workshops during the year will inspire to take a closer look. Meet the artist and see how she develops her work, as seen on BBC 1 series ‘Home Is Where The Art Is’. Once a thriving church it fell into disrepair and was no longer used for regular worship by 1989. However many people still have fond memories of family celebrations and connections with the church which are being gathered into a community project of stories and images, ‘People of All Souls’. www.janeaustin.co.uk 06 Sun 15 & Sun 22 Sept 11am All Souls, Haley Hill, HX3 6DR Guided Walk A knowledgeable guided walk of the area, with Jackie Butterfield, will leave the church taking approximately an hour.

  • The Early Bryologists of South West Yorkshire

    The Early Bryologists of South West Yorkshire

    THE EARLY BRYOLOGISTS OF SOUTH WEST YORKSHIRE by Tom Blockeel [Bulletin of the British Bryological Society, 38, 38-48 (July 1981)] This account brings together information which I have encountered during work on the bryology of South West Yorkshire (v.-c. 63). It lays no claim to originality, but is rather a collation of biographical data from disparate sources, and is presented here in the hope that it may be of interest to readers. I have confined myself largely to those botanists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who made significant contributions to the bryology of v.-c. 63. If there are any omissions or other deficiencies, I should be grateful to hear of them, and of any additional information which readers may have to hand. The Parish of Halifax has been a centre of bryological tradition for over two hundred years. It was there that there appeared, in 1775, the first contribution of substance to South Yorkshire bryology, in the form of an anonymous catalogue of plants published as an appendix to the Rev. J. Watson’s History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax. Traditionally, the catalogue was attributed to James Bolton (d. 1799) of Stannary, near Halifax, whose life was researched by Charles Crossland at the beginning of this century (Crump & Crossland, 1904; Crossland, 1908, 1910). Bolton was the author of fine illustrated botanical works, notably Filices Britannicae and the History of Fungusses growing about Halifax, the latter being the first British work exclusively devoted to fungi. However, his work extended beyond the purely botanical. Shortly after the completion of the History of Fungusses, which was dedicated to and sponsored by Henry, the sixth earl of Gainsborough, Bolton wrote to his friend John Ingham: ‘You must know, John, that I have been so long tilted between roses and toadstools, and back again from toadstools to roses, that I am wearied out with both for the present, and wish (by way of recreation only) to turn for awhile to some other page in the great volume.

Abstract Around the late third millennium BC small cup-shaped vessels began to appear in burial contexts across the North of England where they were found to be associated with Early Bronze Age funerary practices. Known by the name of incense cups, accessory vessels or miniature cups, their true purpose has been elusive. This study comprises an investigation of cups from Northern England and finds the tradition to be heavily influenced by Beaker culture practices resulting in the earliest cups emulating some attributes of Beaker ceramics. The Northern English Cup assemblage defies the current perception that all Cups are perforated as 63% are not; fabrics are found to be locally sourced and not imported and a review of the typology finds a strong regional adherence to the Food Vessel and Collared Urn tradition. Association in the grave with larger Urns is not as common as once believed and Cups have been found as the solitary ceramic indicating that they were important in their own right.

    Item 1 2 Friday, 11 th March, 2016 Samantha Wilkinson 01924 305310 Halifax Town Hall Panel Arrangements and Rules of Conduct of Business 1. Purpose 1.1 To amend the Panel’s Procedures and Protocols in relation to the consideration of complaints against the Police and Crime Commissioner and his/her Deputy in line with legislation. 2. Background 2.1 Following the introduction of Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, and the establishment of Police and Crime Panels, each Police and Crime Panel is required to make its own rules of procedure for the panel. At its inaugural meeting back in 2012, the Police and Crime Panel agreed a set of Procedures and Protocols for the conduct of its business. These Procedures and Protocols are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that they remain fit for purpose for the discharge of the Panel’s functions. 2.2 During the process of considering complaints about the Commissioner, it has come to light that the Panel’s Procedures and Protocols are not clear regarding the narrow remit that the Panel has in only being able to consider complaints against the Police and Crime Commissioner and his/her Deputy. 2.3 The Panel’s original procedural rules were drafted at a time when the precise remit of the powers that would be given to PCPs was unclear. It was at that time anticipated that the PCC’s senior staff might be included in the PCP’s remit along with the PCP and the Deputy PCC. However, when the legislation was finalised, it transpired that this was not the case.
