About Holdsworth
Where to stay in Holdsworth
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
No beds are recorded here. Holdsworth is housing, so visitors book in Halifax and come out to see Scausby Hall and St John the Evangelist as part of a wider round of the town's outer districts. Hazel Hurst House is the third stop.
That round is easier by car, and Halifax stays the base for anyone wanting a meal and a room at the end of it.
About Holdsworth
What are the main landmarks in Holdsworth?
Holdsworth's entry runs to three buildings. St John the Evangelist gives Holdsworth its church, Scausby Hall keeps a hall name from the older landholding, and Hazel Hurst House completes the record. Nothing on it is grand.
The reward is a walk past three named buildings, and the sense of how a district can hold a church, a hall and a house and little else in the register.
What is the history of Holdsworth?
Names outlast paperwork here. Holdsworth carries no founding year in the record, and what survives of its earlier life is the naming itself: Scausby Hall for the old landholding, Hazel Hurst House for the domestic stone that came with it. St John the Evangelist marks the church strand.
Halifax and West Yorkshire supply the wider frame, since the district's story is a chapter of the town's rather than a separate book.
Where is Holdsworth?
Three buildings mark it. Holdsworth lies within Halifax in West Yorkshire, a stretch of housing and older stone rather than a settlement with an edge of its own.
