Restoration of former vicar's grave to be marked at St Lucius' patronal festival

By Kath Hinchliffe
​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.
