UPDATE: St Andrew’s and you – what’s your story? Kildwick 700
Kildwick 700 – an update
We were unable to hold our special St Andrew’s Day service with Bishop Nick to mark this important anniversary. I hope that we’ll be able to reschedule a service sometime in 2021 instead, once it is possible to make proper plans. I still plan to turn the stories about the significance of St Andrew’s shared with me into a little leaflet and to draw on some of them for that service in due course.
If you’ve got a story about how St Andrew’s has been significant in the lives of you and your family, I’d love to hear it. Please spread this request far and wide – I know that there are people in America who have links with Kildwick, and it would be great to receive stories that show that Kildwick’s influence is far from simply local!
You can send your story by e-mail, or send me a hard copy (my address is 2b Nab Lane, Shipley BD18 4HB). Please say whether you would like me to use your name in sharing your story, or would prefer your contribution to be anonymous (though please ensure that your name and contact details are with your story, otherwise I won’t be able to use it).

Hello, I enjoyed looking through the site as I have a family connection to the Church through my great great grandfather.William Clapham Hill
I have inherited a bible, with the following inscription inside the front cover:
Whitsunday 1883
PRESENTED TO
MR WILLIAM CLAPHAM HILL
By the Teachers and Scholars
OF KILDWICK CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL
In grateful remembrance of his unwearied Services as
TEACHER AND SUPERINTENDANT for many years.
He was born in Kildwick in 1840, and lived in Kildwick/Glusburn/Sutton Mill throughout his life, to 1898. He worked at Sutton Mill as ‘Master Overseer’, and many of his family worked there too in one capacity or another.
I live in London, but plan to revisit the areas where my family lived, when restrictions have been fully lifted. I would like to look for any further family information that may be available.
Best wishes
Paul Hill
