Title A name given to the resource Dobroyd Castle, Todmorden, c. 1869 - PNH01806 Subject The topic of the resource Building, Dobroyd Castle Description An account of the resource Joshua Fielden’s brother John, born in 1822, fell in love with one of his mill workers, Ruth Stansfield. The story goes that she replied to his proposal of marriage by jokingly saying that she would accept on the condition that he built her a castle on top of the hill. John took her at her word, commissioned Gibson to build Dobroyd Castle and she duly married him. Completed in 1869, Dobroyd is an enormous two-storey building which dominates the skyline above Todmorden. It has corner octagonal turrets and a four-storey entrance tower with a stair-turret which rises above it. The projections, in rock-faced stone, have battered walls which produces a rugged effect. An impressive central hall with a first-floor gallery rises to a circular dome originally filled with stained glass. Columns of Devonshire marble are crowned by decorated capitals in Caen stone and above the doors are panels carved with scenes depicting the cotton industry. All the materials are of the highest quality and the style is a florid mixture of Romanesque forms with Gothic detail. The marriage, however, failed: Ruth was to live in a Swiss chalet built to her whim in the grounds, whilst John Fielden was alone in the castle. Text from: Calderdale Architecture and History.
