Greetland Heritage Event
St Thomas’ Church Greetland and West Vale, Rochdale Road, Greetland, Halifax, West Yorkshire, HX4 8JE
The church building will be open. Historic local maps and photographs will be on display. Church artifacts and areas of the building, not normally open to the public, will be accessible.
We are featuring two different talks at 11:30 & 1:30 entitled “The Life & Times of Greetlander William Stott” covering life in this area during the early 20th century. The speaker will be Robert Hamilton - the man who has painstakingly transcribed six of Mr Stott’s diaries ( with the help of colleagues in the Halifax Military History Society).
Rob really has an amazing knowledge of this area and it’s history!
A guided walk will leave church at 2pm to explore Greetland in the past. Children will be invited to complete a treasure hunt inside and outside the building. Refreshments available...tea, coffee, soup, cake etc.
