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 are from The Calderdale Sketch Book by J. L. Berbiers, published in 1973 by The Halifax Courier Ltd.
Old Sunnybank, as it is now known, has given its name to quite an area of the Greetland hillside facing across the Blackburn Valley, an area which once rejoiced in the romantic name of Brandy Hole. The old house itself, one of the few remaining half-timbered houses in the Elland and Halifax area, has borne the name Sunnybank for about 500 years. Built in the fourteenth century, it was originally called Over Nabroyde.
At one time it was owned by Thomas Wilkinson, who was Vicar of Halifax from 1438 to his death in 1480 and it was he who renamed it Sunnybank. It is as rich in history and character as almost any house in the area. PH/25.
