3 HISTORY OF THE ESTATE The Farnley Tyas Estate has a rich and long history. Farnley or Ferelei as described in Saxon times, means meadow of the ferns ; Tyas indicates how the Manor of Farnley came into the ownership of Baldwin Teutonicus during the 1230s ( Le Tees being French for someone of German descent). John Kaye acquired the Manor of Farnley Tyas in 1379, following the death of Sir William Finchenden. The Estate can trace its ancient woodlands back to the reign of Henry VIII when the Kaye family substantially re-built Woodsome Hall as we know it today. In 1726, Sir Arthur Kaye died leaving no male heir. The Estate passed to Viscount Lewisham, eldest son of the Earl of Dartmouth, who married the daughter and ownership of the Estate transferred into their family. In 1968, the current owners family acquired the Farnley Tyas Estate. SPORTING AND RECREATION Keen golfers will note that the Estate adjoins Woodsome Hall Golf Club on the eastern boundary; those preferring to watch team sports, are able to enjoy Super League rugby at Huddersfield Giants and Premiership football with newly promoted Huddersfield at the John Smith s stadium.
