Title A name given to the resource Hebden Bridge Local History Society Description An account of the resource The Hebden Bridge Local History Society was formed in 1949 and is a section of the Hebden Bridge Literary & Scientific Society which celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 2005. The Society organises a winter programme from September to March on Wednesdays at the Methodist Church in Hebden Bridge at 7:30 pm. The Society's archive and library is housed at The Birchcliffe Centre, Hebden Bridge. The collection is available for members to use on the second Wednesday and fourth Saturday of each month. Donations to the archive are welcomed. Contributions of photos and documents, even from the recent past. A catalogue of the Society's is available on their website.. 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. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Shibden Hall, Halifax - HLS01260 Subject The topic of the resource Architecture, Drawing, Halifax, Halifax Courier Ltd., Places, Shibden Hall, Sketch Description An account of the resource The sketch and description were originally published in The Halifax Courier in 1912-1913. Oldest of local homesteads, rich with features illustrative of many centuries of house architecture internal and external, it is fitting that Shibden Hall should be in the possession of Mr John Lister, MA, president of the Halifax Antiquarian Society. The older part of the present hall was probably built in the first quarter of the 15th century. In 1504 a Robert Savile encased the rough-hewn beams and ceiling boards of the present dining room with thin, neatly-finished oak wainscoting. He also put in a fine series of stained glass in a window of stone mullions, substituting wooden frames. These glasses Mr Lister considers almost unique. The same owner encased the house body with stone, though much of the original exterior timber work still exists. Alterations have been made since, but of a small nature, except the building of the western tower, kitchen and offices in the ‘thirties by Miss Lister, the then owner. Considering its great age, very few families have held Shibden Hall. The first traceable owner was one William Otes, whose family were in occupation as early as 1410. Subsequent owners were the Saviles, the Waterhouses and since the early years of the 17th century, the Listers. Here was born General William Fawcett GCB, April 30, 1727, son of William Fawcett, husband of Martha, eldest daughter of James Lister. His distinguished military career was begun in Flanders. Honours, well earned, were showered upon him, culminating in a position tantamount to commander-in-chief. At Shibden Hall too, Miss R M Kettle during a visit wrote ‘the Mistress of Langdale Hall’, a novel with much local colouring. Mr John Lister, the present resident and owner, an antiquary of wide repute, has probably contributed more to our knowledge of local history than any other man. His home is a veritable store house of olden lore and fact.
