160 year-old Halifax church goes on sale for £150,000

The Church of St. Thomas The Apostle, Claremount Road in Halifax is on the market for £150,000.

In the past the church was used in the 2006 film The History Boys starring Richard Griffiths.

The property comprises of a Grade II Listed church, constructed in 1857-61, in coursed sandstone, beneath pitched slate roofs.

There is a parapetted tower to the south corner of the building.

Inside, the building is partitioned to form meeting and service rooms, together with toilet and kitchen facilities.

Some of the original roof and ceiling features remain visible, but others are concealed by a suspended ceiling.

The main body of the church has a concrete floor, whilst an area towards the eastern end of the building has a raised stone-paved floor. The pews have been removed.

There is a graveyard to the east and west of the property, which we understand is ‘closed’ and under Local Authority care.

Part, or all of the graveyard may be available by negotiation, dependent on usage.
