I'm guessing that Hebden was formerlly a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, based on its location? Could something about its historical governance be added to the Governance section? I'm thinking arrangements following the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 and Local Government Act 1894 amongst others? -- Jza84 | Talk 11:07, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Something has been added in the History section. -- Langcliffe ( talk) 17:43, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

The article is readable and is reasonably referenced. However, I'm putting the article On Hold:

The article currently says "At the time of the Conquest the land was held by Dreng, which is a Nordic Name". But note the definition given here and also compare with Dringhouses in York. Is there any connection? Martinevans123 ( talk) 13:51, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
You may well be right, but the source quoted says "Lord in 1066: Dreng.", which seems to indicate a surname rather than a status. There does seem to be a strong Scandinavian legacy in the area... Langcliffe ( talk) 11:38, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

In whose honour was the gold painted lamp post box near the Guest House erected/painted? I understand this was only done at places a winning athlete at the London 2012 Summer Olypics came from - it would be interesting to know if such a person did hail from Hebden, and if so, WHO?.
