spooky church

walking down to st stephens church on a cold late afternoon walk was quite a spooky experience .The church built for mill workers. Set on a wooded hillside above the Calder Valley, this neo-Gothic church was built in 1861-65 for woollen mill workers and faces the model village built by Col. Edward Akroyd for his factory employees. It is an early example of the work of the local architect W H Crossland
