Listed buildings in Holme Valley (outer areas)
Holme Valley is a large rural area in West Yorkshire, south of Huddersfield. It has 450 listed buildings on the National Heritage List for England. Of these, one is Grade II* (the middle grade) and the rest are Grade II.
The area’s biggest settlement is Holmfirth, with smaller places like Honley, Brockholes, New Mill, Totties, Jackson Bridge, Hepworth, Hade Edge and Burnlee.
Before the Industrial Revolution, the parish relied mainly on farming, so many listed buildings are farmhouses and barns. The woollen industry then arrived, and many listed buildings are weavers’ cottages and other homes used for spinning wool. These often have long rows of mullioned windows, especially on the upper floors, with up to 14 panes.
Most listed buildings are built from stone (especially millstone grit) and have stone slate roofs. Other listed structures include churches and chapels with churchyard features, schools, pubs, shops, bridges over the River Holme and its tributaries, a pinfold, monuments including a war memorial, milestones and mileposts, boundary markers, a civic hall, remnants of corn and wool mills, wells and stone troughs, a cinema, and telephone kiosks.
This article covers the listed buildings in the outer parts of Holme Valley (outside Holmfirth). The buildings in Holmfirth itself are listed separately.
