Gravestones of Knights Hospitallers, Birstall - RAC1957.081
Memorial
St Peter's Church, Kirkgate, Birstall.
The present building is the fourth stone church to occupy the site. The first stone church was built around 1100 AD and the lower part of the tower is all that remains of that building today. It was extended between 1320 and 1390. From that period the church has a Norman font, holy water stoops, part of a grave slab and the tombstones of three Knights Hospitallers.
In 1490 the church was rebuilt again. There were various changes and additions until the present church was built between 1865 and 1870.
The Rev W. M. Heald, vicar of Birstall, inspired Charlotte Bronte's character the Rector Mr Hall in her novel Shirley published in 1849.
There are numerous carvings and artefacts of great historical interest in the church.

South African Memorial, Halifax - DPC00104
Halifax, Memorial, Parks, Postcard, South African Memorial, Statue, cannon
Situated in West View Park, Warley Road, Halifax. A proud soldier dressed in the uniform of an officer in the Boer War with binoculars in one hand and holding a rifle in the other. The bronze statue sculptured by Benjamin Shepherd of Chelsea tops the 76ft high monument. Below is a circular frieze of cavalrymen in full battle - sculptor AF Smith [Keighley?]. Below this is a part marble circular plinth with stone carved motifs. This all stands on a square base which had three copper plaques with the names of 2 soldiers who died in Afghan Wars and 73 soldiers who died in South African Wars [1899-1902]. Names include Sergeant A. Bottomley a member of Kitchener's Bodyguard. Other names are recorded.
Unveiled on 7th November 1904, in 1937, the statue was blown over in a storm. A balustrade from the eastern side of Halifax Town Hall was removed and placed around the memorial sometime in the 20th century. Three field guns stood by the statue until 1937 when the supporting woodwork was found to be rotten. The memorial is a grade II listed monument.
