Mirfield is a civil parish in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England, set in the valley of the River Calder between Huddersfield and Dewsbury. It has a convenient railway station with services towards Leeds and Huddersfield, so it functions as both a commuter base and a locality with countryside on the edge of the Pennine foothills.
Mirfield grew up around 19th‑century textile and engineering industries, and that industrial heritage sits alongside notable religious institutions such as the College of the Resurrection and the Community of the Resurrection and a heavily restored Victorian parish church. Today the area blends historic architecture with modest retail and light industry, plus an active civic life of clubs, amateur theatre and community events that give it a distinctive small‑town feel.
