Heptonstall Old Church - BIM00116
Church, Church Yard, Churches & Chapels, Churches_&_Chapels, Heptonstall, Minster, Places, St Thomas a Becket
Taken from the top of the tower of the new church 128BM. Occupying a dominant hill-top site within an ancient Pennine weaving community, the parochial chapel of Heptonstall was the third ecclesiastical edifice to be erected in the medieval parish of Halifax. Today it is a charming ruin, overshadowed by its Victorian Gothic successor. It was originally built around the middle of the 13th century and dedicated to St Thomas a Becket who was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 and canonised 3 years later. Fabric from this early period survives in the tower. The building was extended in the early 14th century and completely reconstructed towards the middle of the next century to create a church with two naves and side aisles. During the 16th and 17th centuries the north aisle was taken down and widened, and a dormer gable window was added on each side of the church to provide additional light for galleries. One of these windows has survived and draws directly on the domestic building style of the period.
The tower was severely damaged in a great storm of 1847. After finding it impossible to raise sufficient funds for the repair by levying a church rate throughout the chapelry, it was finally decided to build anew on an adjacent site and to raise the necessary capital by voluntary subscriptions. The foundation stone of the new church, designed by Mallinson and Healey, was laid in 1850.

The Octagonal Chapel, Heptonstall - HLS01036
Church, Church Yard, Churches & Chapels, Churches_&_Chapels, Heptonstall, Heptonstall_Methodist, Methodist, Minster, Octagonal Chapel, Places, Wesleyan Chapel
This Grade II listed chapel is situated off Northgate, Heptonstall, and is one of the earliest Wesleyan chapels in the country. John Wesley laid the foundation stone for the unusual octagonal building which was completed in 1764, since when it has been in continuous use.
In 1795, it was decided that a Sunday School should be opened, as it was the only form of education that the poorer children could get. Even then, it would only be a basic schooling in reading and writing, but better than nothing.
The Chapel was originally built as a symmetrical octagon, but by 1802 there were 337 members and 1,002 scholars. To provide extra space, one end was pulled down and the side walls were extended. The extra space created by this enlargement enabled a new raised pulpit and a singing pew to be installed.
The present day Sunday School is just below the chapel and wasn't built until 1891.

Hepton R.D. Walker Lane C.R. (Unclas), Reconstruction works at Chiserley. Looking North at Methodist Church. "Before" photo taken 10/4/53. Although individual workers were rarely in a position to buy their own cottages, friendly societies and building clubs from the late 18th century onwards enabled them to build houses as a co-operative venture. Mutual-aid arrangements were particularly common in textile districts like Calderdale and a good example of such housing is Club Houses, which was built as an investment by a local funeral club to pay for burials of its members. A terrace of 6 cottages of two and three storeys, it has a doorway in the gable leading directly to the top storey which was used by the whole row as a communal handloom weaving shop.
