Almondbury (English: /ˈɑːməndbərɪ/) is a village 2 miles (3.2 km) south-east of Huddersfield town centre in the Kirklees district, of West Yorkshire, England. The population of Almondbury in 2001 was 7,368[1] increasing to 18,346 at the 2011[update] census.[2]
The village is close to Castle Hill, Huddersfield's most prominent landmark. Almondbury has several notable buildings, including the 16th-century Wormald's Hall,[3] now the village Conservative club, and the Grade I listed All Hallows Church.[4] The church is mainly Perpendicular in style but the chancel is earlier. The roofs have a long inscription dated 1522 on the cornice. Other wooden furniture of interest includes a Georgian lectern, a pew of 1605 and a late Perpendicular font cover.[5]
