Archaeology

The Thornhill Hall-Discover the Past project has now been completed. We have achieved all our project goals and have the interpretation panel sited by the moat in Rectory Park. We have compiled and had printed our leaflet giving a brief history of the Hall and Moated Site. If you want a copy of this leaflet please contact us using the website contact page and we will send one out.

We have a wealth of information relating to the Hall, the Moated Site and the park in general that we gathered whilst compiling the information for the panel and leaflet. We hope to make all of this available on the website soon so watch this space (page).

We would like to thank The Heritage Lottery Fund for their help and of course funding which allowed us to embark on this project.

We would like to thank Kirklees council for all their help in the execution of the project especially Debbie Bates, Naomi Goddard and Anne Ross.

We would like to thank Kevin Cale and everyone at Community Archaeology ltd for their guidance and expertise in keeping us on the right track to achieve our aims.

Last but certainly not least a big thanks to all the Friends who helped make the Project the Sucess it was.
