Dist:0.2km<br/>This was at the entrance to the grounds of The Woodlands (now Bagshaw Museum), which was the home of the Sheard family until they had to sell it due to financial difficulties. In 1909 Batley Council were able to buy it for a nominal £5 because there were no other bidders, and the park opened in 1910.

Dist:0.2km<br/>"When butterfly expert David Crozier died in January 2007 the butterfly house in Batley's Wilton Park had to close because there was no one who knew how to look after the butterflies. Now the building is to reopen in David's honour." This was in July 2009 - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/bradford/content/articles/2009/07/17/batley_butterfly_garden_feature.shtml .
