Death in Addingham

This study looks at the unique and fascinating features of the three cemeteries in Addingham, looking at each cemetery in turn and dwelling on their most remarkable features. The section on St Peter's Church poses a question about if or not the Rector committed suicide in 1789, two centuries before Chris Brook's Preface. Contains a brief biography of Addingham's most famous, some say notorious son, Samuel Cunliffe-Lister, who gave Bradford both Manningham Park and the money to build the internationally known art gallery, Cartwright Hall. Instead of a mausoleum, the Listers built a crypt in St Peter's, and in this Samuel Cunliffe-Lister, first Baron Masham of Swinton, was buried. Even in death, class distinctions were preserved in each cemetery.
