Title
St John the Baptist in the Wilderness, Cragg Vale, Mytholmroyd. - WAO00232
Description
Postcard with 1917 postmark. This church, built in 1838 to replace a smaller church constructed in 1813, was paid for from the 'million pound fund'. An Act of Parliament allocated £1 million to build churches in the rapidly expanding industrial areas that lacked adequate places of worship.
Beyond the church is the fine building now known as the Old Vicarage, and on the very right of the picture is Broadwood, the house named after William Simpson-Hinchliffe’s prize winning hunter.
