Dist:0.2km<br/>The ecclesiastical parish of Oakenshaw cum Woodlands was created in 1877, with a territory carved out of the neighbouring parishes. At first, a mission room was opened in Woodlands, and then the present church was built and was consecrated on 24 April 1889. It is in the Early English style. The Low Moor Iron Company and the Kaye family were the principal donors.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Frank Peel, writing in 1893, did not know the history of this monument but guessed correctly that it was erected by the lord of the manor, Dr Richardson of Bierley Hall. It had four sundials, of which at least two survive as the styles can be seen sticking out from the stone. There was originally a weather-vane.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This is built into a wall opposite to the cross. It belongs to Cross House Farm, which was built in 1601. I have been informed that it was brought here from the Bradford slaughter house in Hammerton Street by a previous owner who had a shop and wholesale business there. There is a similar one from the same source outside Cliff Hollins Farm.
