Hi,

I’m a writer from Sowerby Bridge, who has previously made a film about Branwell Bronte’s Calder Valley years, and who is now developing an idea for writing a book about the disused church of St Thomas a Becket in Heptonstall.

The basic premise is for a local history book, but with plenty of scope for creative interpretation, and I am hoping to interview knowledgable local people who may be able to help me fill in some of the gaps in what I know about the building’s history.

It struck me that there may be people in Heptonstall who might be interested in being interviewed, and if so I wondered if you would care to email me on zonenblick_95@hotmail.co.uk?
