About Sheepridge
Where to stay in Sheepridge
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Christ Church is the marker. Beds are not part of what Sheepridge holds, so a visit is booked in Huddersfield and run out north-east to the churchyard and back. Huddersfield carries the hotels for the whole of this part of West Yorkshire.
Anyone tracing the monuments to Richard Castler and William Fawcett needs no more than a short journey from the centre.
About Sheepridge
What are the main landmarks in Sheepridge?
Christ Church holds the entire listed register for Sheepridge, and two memorials standing in its churchyard are entered separately from the church that shelters them. The monument to Richard Castler stands near the south door, the monument to William Fawcett west of the tower. Three entries close Sheepridge's register.
Sheepridge keeps a churchyard, not a circuit of sights.
What is the history of Sheepridge?
No charter or founding year attaches to Sheepridge, whose recorded past is carried by Christ Church and by the two men its churchyard commemorates. Richard Castler is one. William Fawcett is the other, his monument set west of the tower.
Everything earlier belongs to Huddersfield's own account, the West Yorkshire town whose centre lies a mile and a half away.
