Local History
Adel is situated near the site of a Roman fort, the ancient road from Tadcaster
to Ilkley passing nearby. (The footpath by the side of Long Causeway was said
to be made from the original Roman stones, until they were removed by the
council in the 1960s because they were unsafe. Some of the footpath has
been replaced, starting at the junction between Long Causeway and Stairfoot
Lane, and continuing up to the entrance of Bedquilts playing fields.)
The Roman name for the area was Burgodunum. It is
probable that a Saxon village sprang up around the
fort and that a church was been built in the
village. Adel is mentioned in the 1086
Domesday Book as Adele. Another spelling
used until 1816 is Addle. They derive from
the Old English adela ‘dirty, muddy
place’.
The parish of Adel stretched to the
River Wharfe in the north and
included Adel, Arthington, Breary,
Cookridge and Eccup. In 1152 the
nearby Cistercian abbey at Kirkstall
was founded. At the same time, the
church of St John the Baptist was
built in Adel to replace the older
Saxon building.
The Church of St John the Baptist, Adel
parish church, is described as "one of the
best and most complete Norman churches
in Yorkshire". It is a grade I listed building;
the sundial, mounting block and several
memorials are grade II listed.
It was built 1150-1170 and has been little altered since, although
a bell-cote was added in 1838-39 by R. D. Chantrell. The doorway, protected
by a modern wooden roof, has an ornately carved arch; inside, there are 81
decorative corbels on the north and south walls, and the chancel arch has 37
grotesque beakheads. The medieval font has an oak canopy by Eric Gill, and a
leper's window survives in the chancel.
The doorknocker of Adel Church is a replica, as the original has been stolen.
Because of thefts of stones from the graveyard, all the church's paving stones
are engraved with crosses.
The paternal grandparents of Kate Middleton married at Adel Church in
December 1946.
