View grounds and buildings of Cottingley Hall Crematorium. The crematorium gets its name from the old Hall which was said to date from the time of Henry VII when it was built by the Beeston family on the south-west boundary of Beeston and Churwell. The limestone residence was occupied in the mid-century by Captain Hodgson, who was suspected of participating in the Presbyterian Rising - the Farnley Wood Plot of 1663. When John Wesley was preaching in the Morley area he stayed at Cottingley hall twice, once when he was over 80 years old, as a guest of a Mr. Moor. The Hall, which in later years became a farmhouse, was demolished in 1948 for continued development of the area. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Cottingley Hall Crematorium | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
