Stanbury

Stanbury

Stanbury is a small village in the City of Bradford, 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 is reputed to have used Top Withens as the model for the location of "Wuthering Heights," and nearby Ponden Hall (half a mile from the back end of Stanbury) has long been considered the model for "Thrushcross Grange" in the same book.

There is 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 five minutes walking distance from Stanbury.
