About Horbury
- "Onward Christian Soldiers" was written by Sabine Baring-Gould in 1865 while he was a curate at Horbury Bridge. He wrote the hymn in just 15 minutes for a Whit Monday procession of children from Horbury Bridge to the nearby village of Horbury. It went on to become one of the most widely sung hymns in the English-speaking world.
- Horbury Bridge, spanning the River Calder, has been a crossing point on the river since medieval times. The current bridge was built in the 19th century and is a Grade II listed structure.
- The Calder Valley around Horbury was a centre of the West Yorkshire textile industry for over 300 years, with mills lining the river banks from Wakefield to Halifax. The last mill in Horbury closed in the 1980s, but the mill buildings remain as a reminder of the town's industrial heritage.
