Stanbury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanbury is a small village in the county of West Yorkshire, England, west of Haworth, close to the Pennine Way, and on the River Worth. The surrounding countryside is mainly moors and farm land, but the Brontë waterfall and Top Withens tourist attraction are within walking distance. Emily Brontë used Top Withens as the model for Wuthering Heights, and nearby Ponden Hall (half a mile from the back end of Stanbury) was the model for Thrushcross Grange in the same book.
There's a school and an Anglican church in Stanbury village. The school caters for primary schooling age children. There are also two pubs within Stanbury, The Wuthering Heights (formerly, and locally, known as The Cross) and The Friendly. Olde Silent Inn is a pub and guest house located walking distance from the village.
Lumbfoot is a tiny hamlet located 5 minute walking distance from Stanbury.
