Woodhouse, vil., Shelley township, Kirkburton par., S. div. West-Riding Yorkshire, 5½ miles SE. of Huddersfield.
The location is that marked as "Shelley Woodhouse" on the modern 1:50,000 map, and less legibly on our nineteenth century First Series map. Additional information about this locality is available for Shelley
