About Adel:
Adel is a wealthy suburb in
North Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is
situated between Cookridge, Holt Park, Weetwood
and Alwoodley. To the north are the villages of
Arthington and Bramhope and the market town of
Otley.
Adel is situated near the
site of a Roman fort, the ancient road from
Tadcaster to Ilkley passing nearby. The
Roman name for the area was Burgodunum. It is
probable that a Saxon village sprang up around
the fort and that a church would have been built
within the village. It is mentioned in the 1086
Domesday Book as Adele. Another spelling used
until 1816 is Addle.
Adel is a mainly residential
area of Leeds, and being in proximity to Adel
Crags and Meanwood Park has a distinctive
countryside feel. Adel also has two primary
schools, namely St John The Baptist Primary
School and Adel Primary School.
Adel is within the Adel and
Wharfedale ward for Leeds City Council and the
Leeds North West parliamentary constituency.
Close to Adel Church is York
Gate, an old farmhouse with a beautifully
landscaped garden and a pavement maze in the
driveway. The gardens are open to the public on
regular occasions.
Also close to the church is
the Adel Memorial Hall and the associated sports
ground. The hall was opened on 14 November 1928
as a memorial to those killed in WW1. The
engraved 20 ton stone outside the hall was moved
from Adel Moor in May 1922 and erected on the
site of the then future hall. The hall is home
to the Bowmen of Adel, who hosted the Scorton
Arrow in 1962, 1967 and 1970. Adel is home to
Headingley Golf club, the oldest golf club in
Leeds.
