Batley

Town in West Yorkshire, England, 14 km/9 mi southwest of Leeds; population (2001) 37,700. It has a 13th-century church and a Victorian Gothic mansion which is now a museum of ethnography. Batley originated the heavy reprocessed cloth known as ‘shoddy’, and is still a centre for the heavy woollen trade.

Oakwell Hall, in nearby Birstall, is a 15th-century manor house, and was the inspiration for ‘Fieldhead’ in Charlotte Brontë's novel Shirley.
