In addition there are pictures of the Church. The article states that "The church was closed for services and deconsecrated by the Church of England on 1 November 1997" which considering that Greenwood's Wakefield book was published in 1995 it seems strange that he didn't include it.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mark%27s_Church,_Huddersfield">St Mark's Church, Huddersfield - Wikipedia</a> or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mark%27s_Church,_Huddersfield<br></p><p><br></p><p>HTH</p><p><br></p><p>Peter Kirby ...</p><br><blockquote style="margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 2em; border-left:2px solid #00ADE5; white-space: pre-wrap "><br><br>------ Original Message ------<br>From: georgebellringer@gmail.com<br>To: "'Bell Historians Mailing List'" <bell-historians@lists.ringingworld.co.uk><br>Sent: Thursday, 21 Oct, 2021 At 13:49<br>Subject: Re: [Bell Historians] St Mark's Old Leeds Road, Huddersfield<br><br> <div class="Section1"> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;color: rgb(31,73,125);">Its not in Greenwoods Wakefield.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;color: rgb(31,73,125);"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;color: rgb(31,73,125);">G</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;color: rgb(31,73,125);"> </span></p> <div> <div style="border: none;border-top: solid rgb(181,196,223) 1.0pt;padding: 3.0pt 0.0cm 0.0cm 0.0cm;"> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: Tahoma , sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: Tahoma , sans-serif;"> Bell-historians [mailto:bell-historians-bounces@lists.ringingworld.co.uk] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Oliver Austin via Bell-historians<br> <b>Sent:</b> 21 October 2021 08:23<br> <b>To:</b> <span class="wt_Email">bell-historians@lists.ringingworld.co.uk</span><span></span><br> <b>Cc:</b> Oliver Austin<br> <b>Subject:</b> [Bell Historians] St Mark's Old Leeds Road, Huddersfield</span></p> </div> </div> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: Verdana , sans-serif;">Hello</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: "Courier New";"></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: "Courier New";"> </span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: Verdana , sans-serif;">Does anyone have any information about the bell at St Mark's Huddersfield (Old Leeds Road)?
