The last Murgatroyds to run the mills were brothers Hartley (1797-1865) and John (1799-1873). The brother's seem to have got into some financial difficulties and had to sell 19 buildings in Luddenden and the surrounding valley including the Cornmills. These were sold at an auction held at the Murgatroyd Arms on 19th July 1854, ne...")

The present building (now a public house) is dated 1634 GCP (Gregory Patchett) and is constructed of rendered stone, with a stone slate roof and an L-shaped plan with rear wing. The pub is particularly of note because of its association with Branwell Brontë, who used to frequent it when...")

Evolution of the village settlement over 2000 years, where the two packhorse routes into Lancashire from the Bradford area and from Halifax crossed the Luddenden Brook. The tightly packed huddle of stone buildings are the historical answer to the geological and climatic conditions of the area. The village later developed in a more straggling form up the valley sides. Tr...")

About 300-350 million years ago, much of what is now northern England was covered by a river delta. Large amounts of sand were deposited by the river, and at times the land was above the water, whilst at others, it was submerged. At the end of this period, the land started to rise in what is known as the Armorican mountain building period, and the Pennine hills were pushed up...")

Right from the time of the Domesday survey, Luddenden has straddled two administrative areas, with the Luddenden Brook being the dividing line. The area to the east of the river was in the Warley Township, whilst that part to the west was in the Midgley Township. The main administrative duti...")

In the Archbishop Herring’s visitation returns of 1743, it reads that “We have a school house repaired at the expense of the chapelry but not endowed wherein about twenty children are taught to read English, and catechism.” It also appears from papers relating to Midgley Township, that a school existed between 1752 and 1767. There is no evide...")

At that time, everyone was forced to go to church on a Sunday by law, and the nearest was the Parish Church at Halifax. It is not known where this Chapel of Ease was situated, but in 1496 a licence was granted for a priest to say mass. In 1535, Archbishop Cranmer granted letters for a chapel to be built on the pr...")
