History & Heritage:

Meadow Bank House, located on the western side of Rawdon near open countryside, was built by John Grimshaw, born in 1756 in Calverley. Originally a farm building alongside its adjoining property, Pennygate, both are believed to have been constructed in the 1770s. A previous owner, born in 1880, was an elocutionist who lived at Meadow Bank House until the mid-1970s.
