High Town, Little Town, Robert Town and Mill Bridge are hamlets in the township of Liversedge, which township forms a portion of the village of Heckmondwike. In Little Town is a handsome modern church, built in the gothic order of architecture, and founded by the Rev. Hammond Roberson of Healds Hall, in whom, and his heirs for ever, is vested the patronage: this beautiful church was consecrated in 1816; and it is worthy of remark, that its architect, the late Mr Thomas Taylor of Leeds, superintended the erection of nineteen churches within eleven years. Besides the woollen trade in these places, which is extensive, High Town is remarkable for the number of establishments for currying leather; and there are many others for the making of wool cards, etc. The population of these places is returned with the township of Liversedge, which contained in 1831 5265 inhabitants.
