Title A name given to the resource The Old Grammar School, Heptonstall - HLS00238 Subject The topic of the resource Church, Churches & Chapels, Churches_&_Chapels, Grammar School, Heptonstall, Minster, Places, St Thomas the Apostle Description An account of the resource In 1626 Charles Greenwood, Rector of Thornhill Church, purchased the sub-manor of Heptonstall from Sir Arthur Ingram for £500. He founded Heptonstall Grammar School in 1642 to be maintained by rents from property in Colden (still known as School Land Farm). In 1771 the school was rebuilt with three bays of Venetian windows and three storeys high to Church Lane. The entrance front, facing the graveyard, was devoid of windows and just a single storey with two doorways. The school closed in 1898 but is now a museum where visitors can still see the original master’s desk and the dark oak table-desks with their forms. The above text from: Calderdale Architecture and History. The building was at one time the Yorkshire Penny Bank. Malcolm Firth recalls that he used to volunteer to take the children's savings, collected at Heptonstall School, to the bank on a Friday evening in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
