Farnley Tyas is a small village in West Yorkshire, England situated 3 miles (5 km) south east of Huddersfield. It is located on a hilltop situated between Almondbury, Castle Hill, Thurstonland and Honley. It is mostly private housing and farmland with a small section of local authority social housing.
Though small, compared to others in the area, it has a Public House, the Golden Cock Inn, a First School catering for around 40 children, aged from 4 to 10 years old, a Bowling club, a small sports field and a church (St. Lucius).
Farnley Tyas urban district was created in 1894 and merged with Thurstonland urban district in 1925. Both were abolished in 1938 under a County Review Order, with the majority of the district merging into the Kirkburton urban district and the remainder into the Holmfirth urban district.
In 2006 a small local group was formed to look into the future needs of the village residents, with topics including housing, public amenities and transport.

[edit] Historical
Extract from Pigot & Co's National Commercial Directory, 1834
FARNLEY TYAS is a township, in the same parish as Honley and Crossland, about three miles from Huddersfield and two from Honley. There are but few manufacturing establishments in this township, and, divested of these, it is a place of little importance. The Earl of Dartmouth contributes £30 annually for the support of a school, in which thirty children are instructed. The population of this township has latterly declined: in 1821 it contained 900 inhabitants, and in 1831, 849.
