Abstract
We continue our occasional series on churches vested with the Friends of Fr iendless Churches with this one on Lightcliffe, one of two residual towers that we own(the other being at Slatfleetby in Lincolnshire). It is also tim ely as Lightcliffe and Tuxlith Chapel at Milland in Sussex(the subject of t he monograph in Volume 44 of the Transactions in 2000) were the first build ings to be conveyed to the Friends-in 1971, some thirty years ago. The chur ch lies 1.5 miles north-north-west of Brighouse on the north side of the A6 49. The Friends are responsible for the tower but not for the surrounding c hurchyard which rests with Calderdale Council.
