Lightcliffe Lodge No. 3332 has been based in Hipperholme, Halifax for over one hundred years.  Lightcliffe Lodge No. 3332 has been based in Hipperholme, Halifax for over one hundred years.  We have an active thriving membership.  The Lodge begain its life when it was consecrated on the 18th November 1908 at the Congregational Schoolroom at Bramley Lane, Lightcliffe.  From this point our Lodge meetings were held in the council chambers of the Hipperholme Urban District Council until January 1919 and from February we moved to our current premises.

Where does the name Lightcliffe comes from?  Well, in The Wakefield Manor Court Roll for 1275, it shows an entry for Lightcliffe but it is spelt "Lightclif".  "Lightcliffe" means a cliff which is light as opposed to deep.  Such a cliffe can be found at the grounds of the nearby Holme House.  An ordnance survey map of the time clearly shows the "Light Cliff" in question.
