The Old Rectory, Pinfold Lane, Mirfield, West Yorkshire, WF14 9PS T: 01924 489 070 E: Angela.Lorimer@TheOldRectory.Org
The Old Rectory is a Grade II* listed building with a timber frame, built circa 1300 and bestowed in 1393 to Kirklees Priory, final resting place of Robin Hood.
In 1539, with the dissolution of the monasteries, The Old Rectory became the property of Henry VIII, who sold it to Lord Savile in 1540.
The Old Rectory was returned to the Kirklees Estate in 1601 when the Armytage family acquired it.
In 1810 it was owned by the Inghams of Blake Hall (home of the Bronte sisters), and in 1933 passed to the Church of England. In 1967 it was sold to private owners who have lovingly restored it.
