Church Street, HUDDERSFIELD, HD3 4SY

The gates, gate piers and wrought iron arch at the entrance to the churchyard from St Mark's Road are listed grade II (list entry 1231790).

Built in 1877 and 1882, designed by J W Cocking & Sons, according to Pevsner.

I believe that there was a 'Longwood Sing', but this small open-air theatre would be too small for that event.

This is the only access to the tower etc for vehicles, from Bull Green Road; evidently not used very often.

The view from the St Mark's Road entrance. This Anglican parish church was built in 1877-82 by W. Cocking, with an 8-bell tower added in 1914. It is listed grade II (list entry 1217677).

Not surprisingly, the sundial is on the south side of the church, but predates the present building (it bears the date 1749 and may have come from the previous church on a different site). It has been restored three times according to the church's listing, most recently in 1993 in memory of Cecelia Womersley. An unusual feature is that it bears latitude and longitude co-ordinates, and taken literally the longitude 25deg 35min West would refer to a point in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Ireland. The explanation, thanks to John Foad of the British Sundial Society, is that this is the "Plane's Longitude", the longitude of the location where the dial could be moved to, without rotation, to operate as a horizontal dial (still showing Longwood time, of course). It is a "pretty rare measure".

This steep setted street gives vehicular access to the church of the same name (off to the left), but most through traffic takes the longer but less steep route via Church Street (up to the right).
