Idle Thorpe Wesleyan Methodist Chapel opened in 1810, was replaced on the same site in 1982 SE1737 : Thorpe Methodist Church - Thorp Garth and closed in 2008. The present building is named after a local historian who belonged to the church and is buried in the grounds. It offers "library and archive services, business support, workspace and resources for fledgling entrepreneurs."
Idle & Thorp

Idle and Thorp are two formerly separate villages north of Bradford. Nowadays they form part of the Bradford conurbation, and the name of Thorp is much less used locally than Idle (although it presumably gave its name to nearby Thorpe Edge). Together, they were formerly known as Idlethorp, and that is the title of a local history book by Wright Watson published in 1950, from a facsimile copy of which (ISBN 9 781 905 40846 8) I have quoted extracts in individual photo descriptions.
