HORSFALL TURNER, AUTHOR OF ** Nonconformity in Idel, with the History of Airedale College,^' FOUR ILLUSTRATIONS. BRIGHOUSE : J. S. JOWETT, ''NEWS" OFFICE. MDCCCLXXVIII. — 1512552 CENTENARY MEMORIAL OF THE BIRTH OF ABRAHAM HORSFALL, OF EASTRICK COMMON, (a poor MAN—BUT RICH IN FAITH AND GOOD WORKS,) .\this history of bridge end chapel— A PLACE OF ESPECIAL ENDKIRMENT TO HIM, HIS RELATIVES AND DESCENDANTS IS PUBLISHED BY HIS ELDEST GREAT-GRANDSON. Much of the material in the folloAA'ing pages was gathered before the MTriter had well entered his teens. As years rolled on he extended his enquiries, and matter accumulated to such a degree that articles ' were i^repared for a local newspaper. These ' Fragments of Local His- tory," instead of lessening the stock brought a large accession of more valuable data ; and he feels that inasmuch as fourteen years of his life have been spent at a distance from his native township, he will be jiistified in arranging his materials for a History of Hipperholme- cum-Brighouse, so that an abler person may take the field, in the same way that a Wright's Halifax was superseded by a Watson's. He flatters himself that he will be able to give the name of almost every person (not to mention family) who has resided in the township from 1300 to the present. These he has obtained from Manorial Eolls, Church Registers, and innumerable deeds. The proposed volume will embrace the annals of Coley and LightclifFe Churches; histori- cal sketches of the Friends, Moravians, and Methodists ; the town's officers for nearly six hundred years ; and material for pedigrees rang_ ing back to the immediate origin of surnames, and scores of other particulars. This, of course, means a large book, and the question arose as to the likelihood of a great loss. The present little produc- tion of Bridge End Chapel was decided upon for several reasons^ First, Bridge End Chapel is situated outside the above-named town- ship; secondly, the following pages condescend to chit-chat that would not be tolerated in a more pretentious volume ; thirdly, to be a means of advertisement and financial test; and finally, to evoke further notes on Hipperholme-cum-Brighouse. The portrait of Mr. Crisp is taken from one in the possession of T. T. Ormerod, Esq. Messrs. Goldsborough, Berry, and Co., Brad- ford, have supplied the illustrations, from photos by Mr. Manley, Brighouse. COLLEGE HOUSE, IDEL. March, 1878, COITTEITTS. PAGE.

" Of much interest to not a few of our readers. Mr. Turner has been careful in the collection of his data, and in the arrangement of his materials. ." Leeds Mercury. "Mr. Turner has in this little work collected together a number of valuable materials relating to the history of Nonconformity in Yorkshire. Both the tasks he has performed in a satisfactory man- ner, interspersing his story with a good deal of interesting documen- tary testimony. Mr. Turner has evidently had his heart in the work, and his taste for antiquarian research has been of great assistance to him. He has arranged his facts in regular sequence, and has not wasted much space in miscellaneous comment. Altogether, the work has special claims upon the attention of all those who are interested in matters of local history. ." Bradford Observer. ' ' You have done excellent service in collecting and arranging the memorials of Idle and Airedale College, for which I thank you. ." Bev. Dr. Waddlmjton, London, Author of " Congregational History." BEIDGE END CHAPEL. DIFFICULTY arises as to the most suitable title to be given to this little history, as Rastrick people are properly jealous of losing any honour due to them. The difficulty is not by any means a new one, for somehow the names Rastrick and Brighouse have been strangely interchangeable for many centuries.

  • Calderdale Way Walking Route
    Calderdale Way, walk route – dramatic West Yorkshire The Calderdale Way is a 50 mile (80 km) walk exploring the hills, moors and valleys of Calderdale. It is an ‘up and down’ journey with few level sections. The higher levels, however, provide some exceptionally fine panoramic views. There are some steep sections and there will be muddy parts following wet weather. Some areas of moorland are exposed. Mileage details, which are approximate, are given for longer sections with intermediate distances. The best walking and views as with all walks, would be in sunny weather following a dry spell. Appropriate footwear and clothing is needed for every part. The walk is accessible by public transport. Additionally it can be split into short walks also by using public transport. Additionally, there are many link paths. For example, an easy walk would be the three mile Norland to Ripponden section. Take the bus from Halifax to Norland and then walk on the level and downhill to Ripponden with another bus back to Halifax. Another even shorter walk combined with sight-seeing, would be to take the train to Hebden Bridge, bus to Heptonstall, and walk ¾ mile down to Hardcastle Crag and bus back to Hebden Bridge. The whole walk is circular and so can be started at any point; this starts at Brighouse. There are bus services to each of the distance points. Train services are available at Brighouse, Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Sowerby Bridge and Halifax. Route map and accommodation links at end of these details. Brighouse, Southowram, West Vale, Norland, Ripponden, Mill Bank (11.5 miles; start satnav HD6 1PQ) This section is a relatively easy introduction to the walk.

  • The Early History of Ilkley Quaker Meeting
    THE EARLY HISTORY OF ILKLEY QUAKER MEETING A talk given at Ilkley Meeting, 26 June 2016 Quakerism in this part of Wharfedale in the early days centred on Askwith and Farfield. There was a Quaker burial ground at Askwith from c. 1660 and a meeting house there from 1665 – first wooden, then rebuilt in stone in 1705. But Askwith Meeting closed in 1778, because of falling membership and financial difficulties, and it merged with Otley, which had had its own meeting house at Cross Green from 1776. This merged meeting then merged in turn with Rawdon in 1792, and Otley meeting house closed, it seems, in 1822. Further up the dale there was a meeting at Farfield because the owner of Farfield Hall, Anthony Myers, who had become a convinced Quaker in the early 1650s, gave part of his land for a burial ground in 1666 – and in 1689 he gave the land on which Farfield meeting house was built. Farfield meeting house ceased to be used by Friends in 1816, because of declining numbers in that area. The meeting transferred to Addingham, where Quakers rented a room. One anecdotal piece of evidence for this comes from the journals of the Quaker Joseph Wood, from near High Flatts, who recorded in 1817 when he visited Addingham: ‘Farfield Meeting hath been for some time past held in this village for the greater convenience of Friends in a room which they have taken and fitted up for the purpose.’ (He had earlier recorded attending a Quaker burial at Askwith in February 1780, where he was able to warm himself at a fire in the meeting house, which must have been reopened for the occasion.) Moving forward now to the mid-nineteenth century, Ilkley was developing rapidly following the building of various hydropathic establishments from the 1840s onwards.
