Congratulations to Ruth, our Tower Captain, who is celebrating her 60th birthday.  Ruth leads our bell ringers who let much of the parish know each Sunday that a service will shortly begin. 

All Hallows' has a glorious ring of eight 1919 Taylor bells which sound out for weddings and funerals as well as special occasions, such as bell ringer Eric's 90th birthday.

New members are always welcome, so why not not join them? It's good exercise and more fun than going to the gym!

​Interested? Come along on a Monday evening when ringers meet for practice from 7.30pm. to 9pm. Sunday service ringing is usually 9am for the 9.30am service. And below you can hear some ringers in action.

The City of Bradford Brass Band is coming to All Hallows' on Thursday, May 21, following appearances at Holme Valley and Grand Shield contests.

Expect a mix of toe-tapping favourites, stirring classics and a few surprises. You may also spot one or two familiar faces, as the Rev Rob and his daughter Lottie are band members.

Advice from the bad is: 'Bring a friend, family, or just yourself, everyone’s welcome, and we promise a warm atmosphere and a brilliant night out.'

​Tickets are available via TicketSource or the parish office. Call 01484 541837.

​The grave of the Rev Cutfield Wardrope was uncovered in St Lucius' churchyard in July 2024 by a member of probation service Payback Team working with church's Eco-group.

It had been covered for at least 50 years and funding to restore it was raised by St Lucius' with a generous grant from Kirkburton Parish Council.

On Sunday, July 5 at 10.30am, the Parish Patronal service at Farnley will include an act of commemoration to mark the restoration, honouring the life and legacy of this priest and his family. You can read more about this remarkable character here.
