About Newsome
Where to stay in Newsome
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
A visitor sleeping in Newsome trades the Huddersfield streets for a village a mile out, with St John's Church at the middle of it and the Armitage Bridge buildings at the far side of the ward. Newsome itself runs short of rooms. Bank Foot House, Tolson House and Armitage Bridge House are listed private addresses rather than places to stay, so most bookings land in Huddersfield and come out by the road that runs south through Kirklees.
About Newsome
What are the main landmarks in Newsome?
St John's Church marks the village centre, while the Church of St Paul stands over at Armitage Bridge, where the Tower At Rear Of Armitage Bridge Mill survives as the most industrial entry on the list. Houses fill the rest. Bank Foot House, Armitage Bridge House and Tolson House hold their places on the register, none of them a museum, all of them the reason the ward reads as an older settlement rather than a stretch of Huddersfield suburb.
What is the history of Newsome?
The mill is the clue. Armitage Bridge lends its name to the industrial fabric of the ward, the Tower At Rear Of Armitage Bridge Mill and Armitage Bridge House among the listed remains, and the Church of St Paul carries the same address. Newsome enters the record as a village rather than a chartered town, a mile out from Huddersfield, and it is the name the surrounding ward in West Yorkshire still carries.
Where is Newsome?
Newsome stands at the centre of Newsome Ward, a mile south of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, with Armitage Bridge and its mill tower close by.
