Heptonstall...
...or 'Eppunstull...as I was brought up with....."..Standing high on a hill above the Calder Valley, the small Yorkshire village of Heptonstall began life as a centre for hand weaving during the medieval period......Tucked behind the cobbled main street is the shell of a 13/15th-c church, which was irreparably damaged in the great storm of 1847. The graveyard contains over 10,000 bodies, many of which succumbed to the great plague of 1631. One famous grave is that of a notorious 18th-c coin forger, 'King' David Hartley, of nearby Cragg Vale. The poet and novelist Sylvia Plath is also laid to rest here...."
