Mytholmroyd history

Bronze Age urnfield exists on the moor top, north of Mytholmroyd. It is a burial ground with cremation urns, dating between the 16th and 11th centuries BC of national importance.

Cragg Vale Coiners

During the late 18th century, the valley to the south, known as Cragg Vale, was home to a gang of counterfeiters. The gang’s leader, David Hartley, or King David as he was known, was found guilty of the 1769 murder of excise official William Dighton and was hanged at the York Tyburn on 28 April 1770.

Historic buildings and structures

Mytholmroyd has been a river crossing point since 1329 in the centre of the village, at the site of the current ‘County Bridge’ The original packhorse style bridge was constructed in 1638, and on the upstream side, the bridge was widened and two extra arches on the south end were added to ease the gradient. The parish church was built in 1847 in Early English style but has since re-opened. The 19th century listed, Grade II-listed, 3 floor station building has recently been fully restored back to its former glory.
