Heck Fold:
From the Annals of the Church and Parish of Almondbury p129:
"Next to the Church, the first objects which claim our attention,
are buildings connected with it. The Clerk's House at the
west end has already been described (pages 71 and 72) and is
represented in the view of the Church as it was in 18 18.* It is
situated in what is called "Heck Fold;" an open space so named
from there having formerly been there a public house called " The
Heck ; " a term used for part of a Stable or " Mistal." A Cottage
belonging to the Vicar probably occupies its site. Several inferior
buildings were removed to make a drive and open space, when the
Vicarage was restored and enlarged in 1868 and 70. But " Heck
Fold " was remarkable for a Well or Pump of pure and unfailing
water, now closed up, since the Huddersfield Waterworks have
been made to supply the village, from a Reservoir situated above
Ashes Common."
So somewhere close to the Vicarage I would think.
