An account of the resource
The Hebden Bridge Local History Society was formed in 1949 and is a section of the Hebden Bridge Literary & Scientific Society which celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 2005.
The Society organises a winter programme from September to March on Wednesdays at the Methodist Church in Hebden Bridge at 7:30 pm.
The Society's archive and library is housed at The Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge. The collection is available for members to use on the second Wednesday and fourth Saturday of each month.
Donations to the archive are welcomed. Contributions of photos and documents, even from the recent past.
A catalogue of the Society's is available on their website..
One of the many projects the Society is currently working on is the Gibson and Sutcliffe papers. The materials had been lying in a room at Croft House in Hebden Bridge, undisturbed for over 50 years. One collection belonged to Abraham Gibson of Greenwood Lee and the other to Sutcliffe & Sutcliffe, architects.
Members of the Society are also transcribing gravestones in Heptonstall churchyard, providing easy access to local information for genealogists.

Description
An account of the resource
The sketch and description were originally published in The Halifax Courier in 1912-1913.
The ancient homestead stands on a knoll near Coley Church and commands extensive views, especially southwards. From its exposed position its name is derived. More than six centuries ago the estate passed from the family of Henry of Coley to the Rishworths of Coley. The hall as it now stands has been built in three sections, the middle being the oldest. To the back on the north gable is the double Maltese cross, significant of the fact that the Knights of St John had established a religious settlement or priory there. Many Latin inscriptions once existed about the building, but the only one now obvious is ‘Meliora Spero (we hope for better times) 1693’ on an out building. In a bedroom in the oldest part is excellently preserved plaster work over the fireplace, which includes the coat of arms of the Saltonstalls, owners from 1584 to 1624 (Sir Richard Saltonstall, Bart was Lord Mayor of London in 1597). The owner now is Mr F M foster, and the tenant Mr Jasper Rushworth. PH/28
