Armitage Bridge is a village approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Huddersfield, in the Holme Valley, West Yorkshire, England. It is situated between Berry Brow and South Crosland and straddles the River Holme. The village has a public house, a cricket club and a renowned banjo shop. [1]
The village is dominated by the large former woollen mill of John Brooke and Sons, reputedly the oldest family business in the country, having been founded in 1541. [2] The mill has now been converted into the Yorkshire Technology and Office Park. [3]

[4] The church's current clergy is the Rev Julie Anderson.
