Rawthorpe repays a walk, not a booking.
About Rawthorpe
What are the main landmarks in Rawthorpe?
The New Church, marked Swedenborgian in the record, is entered alongside the Former Church of St Andrew and St James' Church and Parish Centre. That is the list. One of the three no longer serves as a church, the name itself saying so.
Rawthorpe offers a parish centre and two churches on the list rather than any run of monuments or museums.
What is the history of Rawthorpe?
Rawthorpe carries no charter. The district reaches the record through Huddersfield, and what it holds in its own name is three church entries, among them the Former Church of St Andrew, whose title records a use that has ended. The New Church stands under a Swedenborgian label, a second strand of worship.
St James' Church and Parish Centre is the third, and West Yorkshire's wider account belongs to Huddersfield rather than here.
Where is Rawthorpe?
Rawthorpe is built ground within Huddersfield, in West Yorkshire, its shape set by the streets around St James' Church and Parish Centre.
