Keighley, W. R. (4) a parish,

nesday; fairs, May 8, November 7.
Here is a grammar school, founded in
1715, by John Drake. Keighley is si-
tuated in a deep valley, near the south-
west bank of the river Aire, over which
there is a stone bridge; it may be con-
sidered as the north-western boundary
of the manufacturing district. Worsted
is the staple of Keighley, though both
the cotton and linen manufactures are
here carried on with great spirit; the
Leeds and Liverpool canal passing
within two miles, adds much to the
prosperity of the town : the church is
modern, but it contains two ancient
gravestones, with an inscription pur-
porting to be of the date 1023, the age
of king Canute, obviously fictitious,
as on the monument are engraved two
shields with armorial bearings, which
device was not in use till a century and
half later. Keighley has a small race-
course, the only half mile of level
ground in the parish; near the town
is East Wood House, the seat of Wil-
liam Sugden, Esq.
