Rishworth

RISHWORTH is the most southerly township of the ancient parish of Halifax bounded on the north by the townships of Soyland and Barkisland and adjoining Huddersfield (Kirklees District) on the south. The M62 motorway crosses the township and part of the east and west bound carriageways divide around a solitary farm. The farmer’s protests and the subsequent diversion received much press and television comment when the road was being constructed. Rishworth Grammar School was founded in 1724 by the trustees of Wheelwright’s charity, a private boarding school it attracts pupils from around the world.
