Hidden Gem at St Hilda Cowcliffe
Heritage Open Day: William Henry Crossland originally designed this building as a church school, when he was still a pupil architect. Built with stone from local quarries, it became known as Cowcliffe Mission Church and was dedicated to St Hilda in 1953. There has been a church presence in Cowcliffe since 1850. Initially, this was in the form of a church school in a temporary building, overseen by the Vicar of Christ Church, Woodhouse. On 12th November, 1850 a Trust Deed was signed for a new church school and Sunday school, to be built with money and land bequeathed by the late Sir John Ramsden, to educate the ‘poor’ and ‘labouring classes’ of the area. The school building was designed by W H Crossland, a famous Victorian architect, when he was still a pupil architect.
