The house is the former home of David Hartley, “King” of the Cragg Coiners.
Calderdale Council planners have green-lighted proposals to demolish a storage building to allow an agricultural building to be built in its place at Bell House, Cragg Lane, Cragg Vale. The Grade II listed farmhouse itself dates back to the 17th century with mid-18th century features and was the home of David Hartley, the “king” of the coiners.
The coiners “clipped” coins, using the gold shavings to forge new ones in the 18th century, the tumultuous story seeing David Hartley executed at York in 1770 for his role. David is buried in the old Heptonstall churchyard just a few miles away. Planners agreed Mr B. Wakefield’s proposal will help improve the site in the 21st century, with the land being designated a site of special scientific interest .
The new building, which will be some distance away from the listed farmhouse, will be modest in size, replacing ones too small for agricultural use which are falling into disrepair, say supporting planning and heritage statements. The replacement will be more functional, will be used for storing agricultural equipment and to house a small number of livestock in agreement with Natural England, which controls use of SSSI land.
