St. Lucius Church - Farnley Tyas
A simple off set Multi cache
The village was recorded in the Domesday Book
of 1086 as ‘Ferlei’ or ‘Fereleia’ which is thought to
mean either ‘lea of the ferns’ or ‘the far lea’. Later
records show the village as ‘Farneley’ (1316) and
‘Farneley Tyas’ (1361). The Tyas part of the name
is thought to have been a family name added by an
ancient lord of the manor.
By 1732 the lands were in the possession of the Earls of Dartmouth. The church was
paid for by the Rt Hon William Lewisham, the 4th Earl of Dartmouth. The architect was a
Mr Chantrell of Leeds and the foundation stone was laid in 1838 by the Honorable Philip
Saville. By 1840 the church was complete and dedicated by Bishop Longley. It was
built in a traditional Gothic revival style with nave, choir, sanctuary, centre chancel arch
and west tower with a plain spire.
The church underwent some restoration in 1880 and again in 1904, when three aisles
were created and beautifully carved limed oak stalls, pews, organ case and vestry
screen were installed.
The church is now in the Team Parish of ‘Almondbury with Farnley Tyas’. The parish
incorporates, along with Farnley Tyas, the ancient township of Almondbury, parts of
urban Huddersfield and the magnificent Castle Hill, an iron age fort with spectacular
views in all directions.
The original notice has gone missing so now walk to the small gate into the church where you will see a notice on the fence with information about the services,
