St Giles House, Lightcliffe - HLS01264
Architecture, Drawing, Halifax, Halifax Courier Ltd., Lightcliffe, Places, Sketch, St Giles House
The sketch and description were originally published in The Halifax Courier in 1912-1913.
The building is a fine, antiquated, ivy-clad, pointed gable house, the owner of which is Mr Richard Kershaw of Crow Nest, Lightcliffe and the present tenant Mr Maurice Wayman. There are records of the Schofields of Giles’ House from 1529 to 1655, when Thomas Netherwood came into possession and rebuilt it, ‘TN - 1655’ being inscribed over the doorway. Some 80 years later it was partly rebuilt. There are traditions as to how the house received its name. One is that it came from an ancient well nearby, dedicated to St Giles, patron saint of wells, but the old deeds and documents call the place simply ‘Giles’ House’ and the ‘Saint’ has been added within recent years – since the District Council widened the adjoining road and named it ‘St Giles’ Road’.
