  • An Annotated List of Documents Relating to Cononley, Cowling and District
    Revision 3** An annotated list of documents relating to Cononley, Cowling and district Currently in the care of the Cononley Local History Association Contents A Parish of Kildwick and its townships. B The Bradley & Wainman families. C The Tillotson family. D Christopher Horrocks. E Miscellaneous Executor’s Papers, Accounts and Bonds. F Documents relating to the Lund family. G Cononley Co-operative Society: an archive of business records 1869-1875. H Miscellaneous 20th century ephemera (to be completed). J Notes on associated items in other private collections. Notes Items in sections A-E have been acquired by purchase and gift and originate in from the Estate Papers of the Wainman family of Carr Head and represent a small proportion of the original archive once held by their solicitors, Chambers of Brighouse. William Wainman (1741-1818) was a member of the Bar, though he did not practice. [See Yorkshire Notes and Queries. Vol II. 1906. p19]. The executor’s and other papers in section’s D & E of the collection suggest he may have often acted on behalf of friends, business associates and tenants. His unmistakable (and almost unreadable) handwriting is to be found on many items in the archive. Letters and figures in brackets e.g.{G9} after some documents are references, usually marked on them, which date back at least to the examination and transcribing of those documents by W.A. Brigg in 1927 and which probably owe their origin to his indexing of them. Brigg’s indexes and transcriptions are now preserved at Cliffe Castle Museum, Keighley [Cowling Box 38].

  • Canal Boats and Crayfish Claws at Kildwick
    5 kilometres / 1 to 2 hours depending on how often you stop to admire the views. Accessibility – Mostly unmade paths with a number of slopes and a couple of stiles. Bikes are not allowed on riverside paths. Unsuitable for wheelchairs, etc. Canal boats and Crayfish Claws at Kildwick Start this walk at the White Lion Pub. Turn right and head up the hill towards Kildwick Church. The building you are approaching has been standing since the 1300's. However there has been a church here since the 1000's. The church has been well recognised throughout history. Charlotte Bronte visited here during her time as governess for Mary Wainman from nearby Lothersdale. Pause to take a look in the church graveyard (near the car park) and you will find a tomb stone dating from 1889. It belongs to John Laycock. The beautifully carved organ is said to be a replica of the first organ he made. If your walk is early on a Sunday morning you may hear the bells chime at Kildwick church. The tower is one of only six in the country to have “Yorkshire tail ends,” a fluffy handle on the end of the pulling ropes. Bells have been rung here since it was built,over 600 years ago Take a right past the church passing Kildwick C of E School on Priest Bank Road towards the swing bridge. The 1848 map names this bridge as Barrett's Bridge but now it is known locally just as Kildwick bridge. The section of Leeds and Liverpool Canal it crosses was built in 1773.

It normally sells Saltaire Blonde and Taylor’s Landlord. Closed Mondays & Tuesdays (except Bank Holiday) open at 4pm Wednesday & Thursday, 3pm Fridays and all-day Saturday & Sunday. On leaving the pub head towards the river and, after crossing the river, look for a footpath on your right and follow it as it goes next to the river and under the road bridge, so avoiding crossing this very busy road.

  • Kildwick and the Brontës – True Or False ? by Graham Taylor
    Kildwick and the Brontës – True or False ? by Graham Taylor Introduction It never takes very long. I mention to someone who knows the area that I’m a member of the Farnhill and Kildwick Local History Group and sooner or later I’ll be told “… of course Kildwick Hall is the real Wuthering Heights” or “… Charlotte Brontë attended Kildwick church”; I’ve even heard tell that “Charlotte’s ghost haunts the White Lion” ! There are so many connections, or supposed connections, between Kildwick and the Brontë family. The aim of this piece is to consider some of these and to discuss to what extent they might be fact or fiction. True or False ? 1. Charlotte Brontës took her nom-de-plume from the Currer family of Kildwick Hall Almost certainly true. The Brontë sisters used nom-de-plumes to disguise their identities as women. They took the surname Bell and chose gender-neutral forenames which meant that, in the culture of the times, it would naturally be assumed that they were men. They selected forenames that retained the initial letters of their own: Acton (Anne), Ellis (Emily) and Currer (Charlotte), but how these names came to be chosen is not known for certain. In the case of Acton/Anne it has been suggested that the nom-de-plume refers to Eliza Acton, the poet1. It is generally agreed that Charlotte’s “Currer” was derived from the family who owned Kildwick Hall. However, it’s not clear which member of the family inspired the choice. There are two possible candidates: Haworth Currer (1690 - 1744) This member of the family was suggested by J.

  • Chapter Two: Local Difficulties During the Late Eighteenth and Early
    Chapter Two: Local Difficulties During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries destitution was an ever-present threat; violently oscillating trade cycles meant that even wealthy manufacturers could end their days in a workhouse. There was no real security during the early industrial period. In response to this situation, Friendly Societies were set up to provide some form of insurance in the event of sickness or unexpected death. One of these was the Kildwick Parish Friendly Society, which had already been established by 1/1/1799. In exchange for 2/- paid in by each member per quarter, each would receive 7/- weekly if unable to work in the case of illness or injury. An entry book recorded the rules of this Society and according to Wood p.56; they indicated that drunkenness was something of a problem. “KILDWICK PARISH FRIENDLY SOCIETY January 1st 1799 Rules 1. Every member to pay 2/- quarterly into the box, besides the allowance for a pint of ale. 2. Any members sick or lame or otherwise indisposed so as to render him unfit to work shall receive 7/- weekly. 3. When a member shall depart this life there shall be paid the sum of 5gns (Guineas) out of the box to defray expenses of the funeral 4. After payment for 12 months to any member, his pay will then be only 5/- per week 5. Any member refusing to conform to the rules shall forfeit 6d to the box 6. Any member joining the procession in a state of intoxication or behaving disorderly or absent from Divine Service shall forfeit 1/- to the box 7.

    Looking forwards to pubs re-opening At the time of writing many of us are looking forward to being able to meet friends and put the world to rights over a wonderful fresh glass of cask conditioned ale while soaking up the vitamin D in the spring sunshine in the beer garden. The Talbot, SettleThe Talbot, We are waiting to see what pubs we may be having to wave hello do. Many of us haven’t been rather than having a proper protected by the vaccine yet and conversation with lots of people. very few have had both doses so Some pubs like The George at there will still be physical Hubberholme have suitable measures in place when pubs paved space for large ventilated initially start to reopen, capacity tents and others have large will be limited, and in many cases adaptable gardens so hopefully very weather dependent. Also they will be able to reopen as rules on mixing mean that initially soon as the government permits. Unfortunately the British Beer & It seems likely that trade will be Pub Association (BBPA) trade very weather dependent when body estimates that 60% of all pubs open for just outdoor seated pubs in the UK will still remain service.
