About Skircoat Green
Where to stay in Skircoat Green
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Stays here mean Halifax. Skircoat Green is residential and keeps no hotel quarter of its own, so the beds are in the town and the district works better as an afternoon among its halls and its church. Wood Hall and Waske Hall give the bearings.
Anyone walking out to Copley Bridge Toll House can pick up Church of All Saints on the same circuit, then take a room back in Halifax.
About Skircoat Green
What are the main landmarks in Skircoat Green?
Halls outnumber everything else. Wood Hall, Stafford Hall and Waske Hall carry the old estate names of the district, with Bermerside House and Dean House alongside them, and Church of All Saints giving the parish its church. Two more carry the Copley name.
St Stephen's Church, Copley and Copley Bridge Toll House close the list, one a place of worship and the other a small building left from the tolled crossing.
What is the history of Skircoat Green?
Its oldest names are hall names. Wood Hall, Waske Hall and Stafford Hall record the landholding pattern that shaped this side of Halifax, and Bermerside House and Dean House keep the same habit of naming a building rather than a street. Copley Bridge Toll House belongs to a later chapter, the age when a bridge was a kept crossing rather than a free one.
Church of All Saints anchors the parish strand.
Where is Skircoat Green?
Halls set the pattern. Skircoat Green sits inside Halifax, its named ground running from Church of All Saints out to Copley Bridge Toll House at the old crossing.
