Skircoat Green

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Skircoat is a District of Calderdale to the south of Halifax.

In the 13th century, the land was granted to the Earl Warren, and then passed to the Savile family. This was an independent township before being absorbed by the Borough of Halifax in 1892. The name was originally Schircotes and means building on the rocks. Skircoat Green Area of Halifax north of Salterhebble
