Calverley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Calverley is a village in West Yorkshire, England midway between Leeds and Bradford. In the 1086 Domesday Book it is shown as Caverleia also Caverlei.

The village was part of the Municipal Borough of Pudsey alongside Farsley until 1974. Though for centuries previously both Pudsey and Farsley were part of the Calverley parish. Now it is in the Leeds metropolitan district area.

Calverley is generally a rural village with a medieval manor house which was home to the Calverley family.

Football wise it is said that half of the village supports Leeds United and the other half supports Bradford City due to the proximity of both cities.
