Holywell Green
Holywell Green was recorded in the Domesday book as being "a small hamlet within the township of Stainland."It has a playground, astroturf 5-a-side football pitch, well, ornamental lake, reed pond, arches, three follies and woods.[2][3] St Helen's Well is mentioned in John Watson's History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax, 1775.He gives no description but says a Roman Catholic chapel dedicated to St Helen nearby had been converted into a cottage, but in its walls was a large stone known locally as "the Cross".The traditional site is marked by a stone trough in the village, on Station Road, above which is the inscription "Holy Well Improved 1843".Its restoration in 1843 may have been connected with a general resurgence of local interest in holy wells that took place around that time, sparked off by the rise of the temperance movement.The inn closed its doors in January 2012, when the owner applied for planning permission to convert it into flats.Local residents successfully campaigned against the plans, and the pub was subsequently listed as an asset of community value.[citation needed] A Nisa Local shop is at the junction of Stainland Road and Chapel Street.
