Heptonstall is in the West Riding of Yorkshire and about 8½ miles west of Halifax. The Parish of Heptonstall was one of the two ancient chapelries of the Parish of Halifax; the other chapelry was Elland. The Chapelry of Heptonstall contained the townships of Heptonstall, Stansfield, Wadsworth, Langfield and Erringden.

Erringden was originally part of Sowerby, but was staked out as a "park" by the Earls of Warren. When it was dispaled in 1449, it was included in the Chapelry of Heptonstall, although it was surrounded by the Township of Sowerby. The narrow strip of Sowerby Township, known at one time as the Sowerby "Ramble", ran from Mytholmroyd to a point on Erringden Moor 550 yards distant nearly due east of Stoodley Pike and pershaps extended further south. It was bounded on the north by the River Calder and on the west by the stream in Stoodley Glen.
