Sunday 10th July
My son Marcus, daughter Natalie and I attended the the opening of the Coiners Barn at Bell House on Sunday.
This property has significant historical interest in Cragg Vale, dating back to the 13th Century. It was the notorious home to one of the coiners (David Hartley - who was hung in York and buried in Heptonstall )
Liz and Nathan Smith have done a fantastic job in a full redevelopment of the historic barn and we were very pleased to receive an invite to the launch.
It has been renovated in to a walkers luxury retreat / accommodation and also acts as a museum to the history of the building.

This building is of significant historic interest to our area. This redevelopment will help draw even more visitor interest to our area of Hebden Royd with it's fantastic diverse historic past. The coiners in Cragg Vale certainly played a big part of our history and this building, being the home of the ring leader and one of the oldest and remotest in Cragg Vale. This superbly redeveloped site of historic interest will ensure future visitors a direct link to our extremely interesting past.
