Netherthong

[1] The name Netherthong may derive from Old English 'neotherra' (lower) + 'thwang' (narrow strip [of land]); since there is also an Upperthong which is situated on higher ground than Netherthong, the names could designate higher and lower strips of land.Ofsted's last full inspection of December 2012 rated the school Grade 1 (Outstanding) in all areas and overall effectiveness.[7] Netherthong parish church is All Saints', built between 1829–30 by Leeds architect Robert Dennis Chantrell and remodelled in 1877 by William Swinden Barber.[8][9] The church is part of the Upper Holme Valley Team Ministry (benefice), and within the Diocese of Leeds.There is a village shop and newsagent which is part of the Londis chain, and a post box on Giles Street.
