Kirklees Hall

The first evidence of a hall constructed at Kirklees was that of Sir Thomas Gargrave, who conveyed the property to the Pilkington family.

Lady Armytage (d: 2008 aged 81), sold the property in 1983 and moved into Priory Gardens a property she built within Kirklees Park estate adjacent to Old Farm (formerly Low Hall) and the Kirklees Priory site.

The former gatehouse part of the Old Farm (Low Hall) complex can still be seen, though the site is on private land and has no public access.

In the folklore song Geste it is said that Robin Hood was the nephew of the prioress, who sheltered him when he was fleeing from the Sheriff of Nottingham.

The site of Robin Hood's Grave is marked on the local Ordnance Survey map.
