Title
St Andrew's Church, Stainland - HLS01342
Description
The sketch and description are from The Calderdale Sketch Book by J. L. Berbiers, published in 1973 by The Halifax Courier Ltd.
The tower of St Andrews, the parish church of Stainland, can be seen for miles around. Worship in the village has a distinctive history for in 1755 a small chapel-of-ease was built on the site of the present church and it is said Anglicans, Wesleyans and Independents met for worship in the building for some 60 years.
In 1838 the Church of England obtained legal possession of the church and Stainland parish was formed two years later. In 1888 the church was re-built, the only original parts now left standing being the tower and the north and south walls
