Easthorpe: what to know before moving day
St Paul's Church was designed by W. Swinden Barber and built in 1881; Edward Theodore Ingham of Blake Hall laid the foundation stone. Water Hall, dated 1719 and heavily altered in 1915, keeps Arts and Crafts gate piers and iron gates from that later work. The low walls, railings and gate piers in front of Trinity Methodist Church, from about 1877, are listed too.
Crowlees C of E Junior and Infant School is on Springfield Park. Mirfield Cricket Club and Moorlands Cricket Club both play at the Memorial Park off Huddersfield Road, and Mirfield Showground is nearby. Houses run from Trinity Street, Fenton Street and Town Hall Street to East-Thorpe Court and Lowlands Road. Give the house number and the nearest junction when you book, so the driver can pick the right end of the street.

Easthorpe: questions before you book
Why do I see Easthorpe, East Thorpe and Eastthorpe?
All three spellings are in use for the same place. The listed building record names St Paul's Church, East Thorpe; the town council's parish ward is Eastthorpe; and OpenStreetMap has East Thorpe Place and East-Thorpe Court. Any of them is fine, as long as the street and full postcode are right.
