During the Anglo-Saxon era, Dewsbury was an important religious town. The Minster was built alongside the River Calder, and from the 15th century the bell was rung each Christmas Eve as part of the ‘Devil’s Knell’ tradition.
The town market dates back to the 14th century when local clothiers traded in the centre, and once the canal and railway were opened, the population of Dewsbury started to boom. During industrial times, Dewsbury was central to the Luddite movement when workers protested against the new machines used in factories. The textile industry eventually went into decline.
