Hawksworth, Guiseley
Hawksworth is a village west of the town of Guiseley in West Yorkshire, England. It is located to the south of Menston and north of Baildon. Etymology The name of Hawksworth is first attested in a charter of 1030 in the phrase ''on Hafeces-weorðe'', and then in the Domesday Book of 1086 in the form ''Hauochesuurde'' and variants thereof. The Old English word ''hafoces'' meant 'hawk's', but the word is thought in this place-name to have been a personal name; ''worð'', meanwhile, means 'enclosure'. Thus the name once meant 'enclosure belonging to Hafoc'. History Hawksworth was historically a township in the large ancient parish of Otley in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
