"HAWORTH, is a chapelry, comprising the hamlets of Haworth, Stanbury, and Near and Far Oxenhope, in the parish of Bradford, and wapentake of Morley, West Riding; Haworth being 10 miles from Bradford, about the same distance from Halifax, Colne and Skipton, and 3.5 miles s. from Keighley ; situated on the side of a hill, and consisting of one irregularly built street ; the habitations in that part called Oxenhope being yet more scattered, and Stanbury still farther distant -- the entire chapelry extending over a wide space. This is one of the districts, the inhabitants of which derive their support from the woollen trade; the spinning of worsted, and the manufacture of stuffs, being the branches which here prevail extensively. The church, or rather chapel, subject to Bradford, which is dedicated to St. Michael, was rebuilt in 1757. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of the vicar of Bradford and certain trustees: the present curate is the Rev. Patrick Bronte. The other places of worship in Haworth are, two chapels for the Baptists and one for Wesleyan Methodists, with another for the latter sect at Oxenhope. There are three annual fairs, which take place on Easter Monday, the second Monday after St. Peter's day (old style), and the first Monday after Old Michaelmas day. The chapelry of Haworth and its independent hamlets contained, by the parliamentary census taken in 1821, 4,668 inhabitants, and by that in 1831, 5,835."

Haworth is located in the high Pennine moors, some 3 miles south-west of the larger town of Keighley and 10 miles west of Bradford. The surrounding areas include Oakworth and Oxenhope. With its situation above the Worth Valley amid the bleak Pennine moors, Haworth is internationally famous for its connection with the Brontė sisters, who were born in Thornton, Bradford, but wrote most of their famous novels while living at the Haworth Parsonage (which is now a museum owned and maintained by the Brontė Society), when their father was the parson at the adjacent Haworth church
Scammonden was a village close to Huddersfield, in the Colne Valley, England, before it was flooded in the 1960s to create the Scammonden Reservoir.
