Home... home on The Grange

RENEGADE Nell is the new Sally Wainwright drama on our TV screens but, unusually for this multi-award winning writer, it's based down south instead of Yorkshire.

Wainwright has been credited with putting Halifax back on the map with her television dramas Gentleman Jack and Last Tango In Halifax, and she describes the town as magical thanks to its rich history and impressive buildings.

The most famous is Piece Hall, an 18th century cloth hall and courtyard that's now home to cultural events, exhibitions, shops, bars and restaurants.

This Grade I listed site was restored from 2014 to 2017 at a cost of £19million and is one of 254 listed buildings in the West Yorkshire town, many of them connected to the cloth trade.

Warley Town, a village two miles from Halifax, has another 32 listed buildings and among them is The Grange, a 17th century yeoman clothier's house, which is for sale with a detached stone-built coach house.
