Oakwell Hall

Oakwell Hall is an Elizabethan manor house near Batley in the Kirklees district.

The house was visited by Charlotte Bronte, who is believed to have used it as the inspiration for "Fieldhead" in her novel "Shirley".

In nearby Gomersal is Red House - which provided the inspiration for "Briarmains" in "Shirley".
