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.
This hall overlooks Sowerby Bridge at the extremity of the straggling village of Norland. Like Norland Hall and Norland Upper Hall this homestead was erected in its substantial form by a member of the Taylor family in 1634. It has distinctive features. A regret is that the fine porch should have been interfered with and that the central windows should have been spoilt by a door being broken through. The pillars of the porch are remarkable for a curious twist in the fluting, a peculiarity also found in the upper pair of pillars on the porch of Barkisland Hall. While the hall is attractive for its curious windows, its distinctive porch, plain gargoyles and capped gables it is also noted for lovely plaster work. In the main room a gigantic fireplace now fitted with a small modern fixture is adorned with beautiful designs. PH/28.
