History

The first recorded mention of Erringden is in a deed from 1321, where it is named Heyrikdene, and it is described as a park for hunting. Plans of an estate in Erringden produced in 1761 are the first known work by the land surveyor and engineer Robert Whitworth, who went on to become one of the leading canal engineers of his generation. In the 1870s Erringden was described as : 'A township in Halifax parish, W. R. Yorkshire; adjacent to the York and Manchester railway, 7 miles NNW of Halifax. It includes part of Hebden-Bridge village, and part of Mytholmroyd hamlet; and has a fair, at Erringden-Moor, on the Friday after 11 Oct'.
