Welcome to Badsworth

A thousand years in the making

A hidden Gem

A small village on the edge of the Went Valley, close to the borders of West and South Yorkshire.

A Domesday Village

Badsworth can be traced back to the 11th century. It has links to the English Civil War, nearby Nostell Priory and the Badsworth Hunt.

Still young at heart

Badsworth might be over a thousand years old, but it is still a vibrant community with lots going on.

Our Village

Village and History

Recorded in the Domesday Book, Badsworth has a rich history. St Mary's Church is a 15th Century Grade 1 listed building and the village has a number of other buildings of special interest.

Lawson Hut

The Lawson Hut was built and gifted to the Village in 1921 in memory of Parish Warden Mr. William Lawson. Originally a first world war army hut, it is now a completely refurbished community centrepiece, managed by a hard working group of volunteers.

St Mary's Church

St Mary’s Church, was first mentioned in the Domesday book. The Church that you see today is probably the third on the site and the bulk of the modern structure dates from around 1350 – 1400, although there are one or two pieces of the earlier church still visible today.

Badsworth School

The current school was built in 1996 to replace a 19th century school , which is still here today. The chemical toilets are long gone thankfully
