Druids Hall The property was erected in 1846 for The Ancient Order of Druids Friendly Society. From 1849 to 1860 it served as a chapel for the United Methodist Church. Holmfirth Rifle Volunteers then occupied it as a drill hall until 1892. Various uses followed, including as a hotel and for entertainment, until 1917 when the property was acquired and renovated by Holme Valley Masonic Lodge for its own use.
