The beginning

A newspaper dated 26th. June 1920 tells us that the West Riding County Council's Education Committee have entered negotiations to purchase Hemsworth Hall for £9,000, in order to create a secondary school in the Hemsworth District. The land, comprising 20 acres is the former residence of Samuel G. Leatham and it is estimated that a further £7,000 would be spent in adapting the Hall.
