Scholes, Leeds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scholes is a village on the outskirts of Leeds, West Yorkshire. It is part of the parish of Barwick in Elmet and Scholes. It is sometimes known as Scholes-in-Elmet to distinguish it from the two Scholes in the Kirklees borough, by analogy with Barwick-in-Elmet and Sherburn-in-Elmet

Its name is a plural of Old Norse skáli = "temporary shed".
