The Chapel of Hartshead is dependent on the Church of Dewsbury, and is the only one existing in the parish. It was in being at the time the living of Dewsbury was granted by the second Earl Warren, to the Priory of Lewis, about the year 1120; and may have existed before the time of Domesday. Great part of the fabric has been renewed since the first erection, but the principal door, and the arch over the entrance of the choir remain, both adorned by semicircular arches. At a small distance, by the highway side, leading to the common, is the base of a genuine Saxon cross, called Walton Cross, four feet five inches in height, and two feet three inches at the top. It is wrought in the usual style, with knots and scrolls, and has a cavity at the top for the insertion of a shaft. --Whitaker's Loidis and Elmete."
