[[File:Chapel Allerton map.jpg|thumb|left|Central Chapel Allerton street map]]
The region within the [[Chapel Allerton (ward)|Chapel Allerton]] ward generally considered to be Chapel Allerton is bounded by Potternewton Lane to the south, Scott Hall Road to the west and Gledhow Valley Road to the north-east.<ref name=LeedsPlan>((cite web |url=https://www.leeds.gov.uk/docs/Chapel%20Allerton%20CAA%20adopted.pdf |title=Chapel Allerton CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL & MANAGEMENT PLAN |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=22 October 2008 |website=www.leeds.gov.uk |publisher=Leeds City Council |access-date=3 April 2019 ))</ref>

Surrounding districts include [[Moortown, Leeds|Moortown]], [[Meanwood]], [[Roundhay]], [[Gledhow]], [[Chapeltown, West Yorkshire|Chapeltown]] and [[Harehills]]. Chapel Allerton is on Harrogate Road, which, before the building of the [[A61 road|A61]] Scott Hall Road, was the main road from [[Leeds]] to [[Harrogate]]. The centre in terms of activity is Stainbeck Corner, at the junction of Stainbeck Lane, Harrogate Road and Town Street,<ref name=LeedsPlan/> which is also the key place on 19th century maps of the village.<ref name=Faulkner/>

==Name==
The name ''Chapel Allerton'' is first attested in the [[Domesday Book]] simply as ''Alreton'' and similarly spelled variants. It probably comes from [[Old English]] ''alor'' '[[alder]]' (in its [[genitive]] [[plural]] form ''alra'') and ''tūn'' 'estate, farm', thus meaning 'Alder farm'.<ref name=Smith>A. H. Smith, ''The Place-Names of the West Riding of Yorkshire'', English Place-Names Society, 30–37, 8 vols (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1961–63), iv, 137–38.</ref><ref name=Parkin>Harry Parkin, ''Your City's Place-Names: Leeds'', English Place-Name Society City-Names Series, 3 (Nottingham: English Place-Names Society, 2017), p. 34.</ref>

The ''Chapel'' part of the name refers to a chapel associated with [[Kirkstall Abbey]]. This building was demolished in the eighteenth century; the site remains between Harrogate Road and Church Lane.<ref name=LeedsPlan/> Already in 1240 a charter referred to land "which lies between the road which goes to the Chapel of Allerton and the bounds of Stainbeck",<ref name=HolyR>[http://www.movinghere.org.uk/deliveryfiles/wyas/WYL5046_7/0/3.pdf Holy Rosary Church Leeds] Silver Jubilee 1937–1962</ref> but the name ''Chapel Alreton'' is first attested in the fourteenth century, coined to distinguish the place from the many other places called ''Allerton'', such as the nearby [[Allerton Gledhow]] and [[Moor Allerton]].<ref name=Smith/><ref name=Parkin/>

The name ''Chapel Allerton'' was reduced to ''Chapeltown'' (first attested in 1427), and from this time both names co-existed and were essentially interchangeable.<ref name=Faulkner>R. Faulkner (1995) ''From Village to Suburb – A History of Chapel Allerton'' (Chapel Allerton Residents Association)</ref><ref name=White>((cite book |last=White |first=William|date=1853 |title=Directory and Gazetteer of Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, Wakefield, and the whole of the clothing districts of the West Riding of Yorkshire |url= |location=Sheffield |publisher=William White |page=299))</ref> [[Ralph Thoresby]], writing in 1715, records ''Chapel-Town'' as a common name for the township of Chapel Allerton, describing it as "well situated in pure Air, upon a pleasant Ascent, which affords a Prospect of the Country ten or twelve miles". The open space to its east and north of ''Potter-Newton'' was "a delicate Green commonly call'd ''Chapel-Town Moor''".<ref name=Thoresby>Ralph Thoresby (1715) ''Ducatus Leodiensis: or, the topography of the ancient and populous town and parish of Leedes, and parts adjacent in the West Riding of York'', pages 113, 124. A. H. Smith, ''The Place-Names of the West Riding of Yorkshire'', English Place-Names Society, 30–37, 8 vols (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1961–63), iv, 138.</ref>

==History==
Before the [[Norman Conquest]] (1066–1072) it was a township covering about five square miles, including what are now known as [[Alwoodley]], [[Meanwood]], [[Buslingthorpe, Leeds|Buslingthorpe]], [[Scott Hall, Leeds|Scott Hall]], [[Gledhow]], [[Carr Manor]], [[Moortown, Leeds|Moortown]] and [[Moor Allerton]].<ref name=Clarke>((cite book |last=Clarke |first=Eric |date=1988 |title=Chapel Allerton: an outline history of an urban village|location=Leeds |publisher=Leeds Flower Fund for the Elderly))</ref> This included a major and a minor Roman road, and a Roman altar was discovered in the foundations of the Sexton's cottage for the old Church of St Matthew when it was demolished in 1880.<ref name=Clarke/>

This area was substantially destroyed by [[William the Conqueror]] in what was known as the [[Harrying of the North]], leaving only the remnants of a village with a church around the present-day centre.<ref name=Tucker>((cite book |last=Tucker |first=Janet |date=1987 |title=Chapel Allerton Historic and Architectural Trail |url= |location=Leeds|publisher=Manpower Services Commission |page= |isbn= |author-link= ))</ref>  This is shown by the reduction in value from 40 to 2 shillings in the [[Domesday Book]] (1086).

The entry reads:
''...In Alreton, Glunier had six carucates of land to be taxed, and there may be three ploughs there.  Ilbert now has it, and it is waste.  Value in King Edward's time forty shillings, now two shillings.  There is a church there and wood pasture half a mile long and a half broad.''<ref name=Clarke/><ref name=Tucker/>

William awarded the area to the Lacy family, who later sold it to Simon de Alreton, who later bestowed most of it to [[Kirkstall Abbey]] in 1152. The Abbey later sold much of it to the [[Mauleverer baronets|Mauleverer]] family of [[Potternewton]]. With the [[Dissolution of the monasteries]] (1536–1541) Kirkstall Abbey and its estates were taken over by the crown, and [[Queen Elizabeth I]] sold the Lordship of Chapel Allerton to Thomas Killingbeck.<ref name=Clarke/>

In medieval times, the area was mostly small farms, with a village (and chapel) centred on a crossroads.  In 1645 there was a plague (probably [[cholera]]) in Leeds, particularly virulent around the town markets.  Instead of travelling in to sell produce, the people from Chapel Allerton sold it at Chapeltown Green, at the north end of what is now Chapeltown Road. To pay, the buyer had to put money into a basin of vinegar, specially built into a wall.<ref name=Clarke/>

Chapeltown Moor was an open area extending from Stainbeck Lane on the north down to Potternewton Lane on the south, bounded to the west by the stream known as Stain Beck and the turnpike road to Harrogate on the east.  In the 17th and 18th centuries it had a racecourse and was also used for archery, cricket, foot racing, and cockfighting.  It was finally enclosed between 1803 and 1813. In 1644 three men were hanged on a gallows there, roughly where the 1878 school is.<ref name=Tucker/>

By the end of the 17th&nbsp;century, it had become a resort or second home for wealthy people from Leeds<ref name=LeedsPlan/> and in 1767 was described as the [[Montpellier]] of Yorkshire by one visitor.<ref name=Faulkner/><ref name=Wrathmell>((cite book |last=Wrathmell |first=Susan |date=2005 |title=Pevsner Architectural Guides: Leeds |url= |location= |publisher=Yale University Press |page=227 |isbn=0-300-10736-6 |author-link= ))</ref> In 1834 [[Edward Parsons (minister)|Edward Parsons]] described it as "by far the most beautiful and respectable in the Parish of Leeds".<ref name=Wrathmell/> An 1853 directory called Chapel Allerton "a neat and pleasant village" with the "beautiful hamlets" of Moor-Allerton, Meanwood and Gledhow and a population of 2497 within its chapelry, noting that "It has many handsome mansions and neat houses, mostly occupied by merchants &c. who have their places of business in Leeds.<ref name=White/>
From 1839 there was a horse-drawn [[Horsebus|omnibus]] to Leeds, which was replaced by a [[Horsecar|horse tram]] in 1874, later by a [[Tram#Steam|steam tram]] and in 1901 an [[Tram#Electric|electric tram]].<ref name=Clarke/> The population rose from 1054 in 1801 to 4377 in 1898.<ref name=Clarke/>

Chapel Allerton was incorporated into [[Leeds]] administrative area in 1869, as a [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]]. However, in 1900 it was still a village, isolated from Leeds and neighbouring Meanwood and Moortown by fields, which were gradually filled in with housing and new roads in the 20th&nbsp;century.<ref name=Noble>((cite book |last1=Brown |first1=Michael|last2=Hallett |first2=George |date=1999 |title=Noble and Spacious: St Matthew's Chapel Allerton 1900–2000 |publisher=St Matthews, Chapel Allerton |pages=124–5 |quote=Article by Reg Simmons from the Parish Chronicle of 1950))</ref> First of all, rows of elegant stone-built houses along Chapeltown Road established a genteel suburbia, then in the thirties many large housing developments such as [[Carr Manor]], [[Stainburn]] and [[Scott Hall, Leeds|Scott Hall]] meant that the isolated village was just another urban suburb.<ref name=Clarke/>

==Architecture==
((See also|Architecture in Leeds))
A large part of Chapel Allerton is a conservation area for the character and historical interest of its buildings, noted for a diversity of good quality domestic buildings from various periods.<ref name=LeedsPlan/>
The historic core is around Stainbeck Corner, particularly around Town Street and Well Lane, with 8 [[Listed building]]s. To the south and west of this is an area of grand detached houses with large gardens dating from the 18th and early 19th century.<ref name=LeedsPlan/> The earlier buildings are of fine-grained sandstone derived from the quarries which were once on Stainbeck Lane. These include a number of small 19th century two-storey houses as well as grander buildings.<ref name=LeedsPlan/> After 1890 brick terraced and [[back-to-back houses]] were built, but of better quality than workers' housing elsewhere in Leeds, as they were intended for artisans and the [[lower middle class]].<ref name=LeedsPlan/> The advent of the electric tram in 1901 made the area more accessible and further housing began to fill in empty spaces<ref name=Faulkner/> though this was of varied types. It finally lost its village character in the 1920s and it joined the Leeds urban area.<ref name=LeedsPlan/> Thus the area between King George Avenue and Montreal Avenue was filled in between 1920 and 1939 with bungalows and stucco-faced houses typical of Leeds of the time.<ref name=Faulkner/> In Riviera Gardens, white rendered houses were built in the Modernistic style.<ref name=Faulkner/>
[[File:Dominion Cinema.jpg|thumb|right|Dominion Cinema]]
After the [[Second World War]] further building and rebuilding continued, mostly unremarkable, though with a few examples of good modern design.<ref name=Faulkner/> The area was once home to an [[art deco]] [[movie theater|cinema]], the Dominion. Opened in 1934 and lasting only until 1967 when it operated as a bingo hall until the later part of the 1990, the cinema stood on Montreal Avenue. The residential street 'Dominion Close' is close to its former site.<ref name=leodis20028>((cite web|url=http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=2002820_38171023&DISPLAY=FULL|title=Dominion Cinema, Montreal Avenue|first=Leeds City Engineers|last=Department|website=www.leodis.net|access-date=11 December 2018))</ref>

===Houses===
Allerton Hall was situated between Wensley Drive and Stainbeck Lane. In 1755 it was purchased by Josiah Oates, a merchant and an ancestor of [[Captain Laurence Edward Oates]] who perished in a blizzard at the age of 32 on the [[Terra Nova Expedition]] to the [[Antarctic]] led by [[Robert Falcon Scott]] in 1912.<ref name=Leodis2004122>((cite web|title=Leodis- A Photographic Archive of Leeds|url=http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?resourceIdentifier=2004122_57326907|publisher=Leodis|access-date=2 July 2012))</ref> A brass plaque commemorates him in [[Leeds Parish Church]].

Clough House on Stainbeck Lane was converted to the Mustard Pot pub in 1979. It may date to 1653, and thus one of the oldest inhabited houses in Leeds, though most of the structure is from 1700 onwards.<ref name=Tucker/> On Wood Lane are [[Gothic style]] villas in sandstone dating from the second half of the 19th century for the middle classes.<ref name=Tucker/> Methley Place is an example of late 19th century terraces for the artisan class.<ref name=Faulkner/> The Hawthorns are a set of terraces built in the early 1900s in an unusual Manorial style.<ref name=Tucker/>

===Public buildings===
On Stainbeck Corner are a pair of linked buildings, originally constructed as a [[police station]], a [[fire station]] and public library, opened in 1904.<ref>((cite book |last=Webster |first=Christopher |title=Building a great Victorian city: Leeds architects and architecture 1790–1914 |publisher=Northern Heritage Publications in association with the Victorian Society |year=2011 |isbn=978-1-906600-64-8 |pages=400–402 ))</ref> The public library is the only element to remain in operation. The police station became a restaurant and other parts of the complex were turned into flats. It is a grade II [[listed building]].<ref name=NHLE1256028>((NHLE|num =1256028|desc=Chapel Allerton Library and Police Station|access-date = 14 April 2019))</ref> The style is dressed sandstone with [[ashlar]] details. The main corner doorway is flanked by [[Italianate architecture|Tuscan]] columns supporting a segmental pedimented hood containing a [[cartouche]], and above this is a moulded and painted coat of arms of Leeds. The Harrogate Road doorways are Tudor-arched with rectangular [[fanlight]]s.<ref name=Tucker/> There is a bell turret and a clock. In 1904 the fire station was converted to a public library, with some amendments to the frontage style.<ref name=Tucker/> The interior features tiled walls with 'LPL' on them, a mosaic floor in the entrance hall, stained glass in doors and ionic columns.<ref name=NHLE1256028/> Further down Harrogate Road in the direction of Leeds is a brick and sandstone building bearing the sign "Leeds Board School 1878". This is still a school, Chapel Allerton Primary School. It is on the site of the Chapeltown Moor [[gallows]].<ref name=Tucker/>

===Inns===
The [[public house]] the ''Nag's Head'' opened in 1772 as the Bay Horse Inn, a coaching inn, and according to local legend the original innkeepers were in league with 18th century [[highwaymen]].<ref name=Tucker/> The Nag's Head has been closed since July 2023. The Regent was completed in the first half of the 19th century, and its exterior is little changed from that time.<ref name=Faulkner/> What is now called the Three Hulats was previously the Mexborough Arms. (The hulats are owls, of which there are three on the arms of the [[Earl of Mexborough]]<ref name=Savile>[http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/genealogy/savile.htm Rotherham Web Genealogy] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304060457/http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/genealogy/savile.htm |date=4 March 2016 )) Savile of Mexborough</ref>) The present building dates from 1911, replacing a 19th-century Mexborough Arms, a terminus for the horse tram service from Leeds, itself replacing the 17th century Bowling Green Tavern.<ref name=Faulkner/> The Mustard Pot was converted from a house built in 1653 into a pub in 1979 (see 'Houses' section above).

There are also [[Lidl]] and [[Aldi]] stores on Harrogate Road.

Many cafés, bars and restaurants utilise pavement space creating a pavement café culture in the area. As of late 2021, this is being significantly improved by closing the Northern half of the Stainbeck Lane and Harrogate Road junction to create a public plaza. Some of the shops are chains, such as [[Greggs]] and [[Caffe Nero]]. There are however a significant number of thriving independent businesses, such as George & Joseph Cheesemongers, Crust & Crumb, Opposite, House of Koko, Deliziosa, Hern, Pinche Pinche, and many more.

Chapel Allerton has two arts centres: Inkwell Arts on Potternewton Lane and Seven Arts on Harrogate Road. Both provide concerts and community events and performances.

Dyneley House, one of several [[care home]]s in Chapel Allerton, was originally established to care for members of the [[Christian Science]] denomination in need of residential support.<ref>Greendown Trust, [https://www.greendowntrust.com/dyneley-house Dyneley House], accessed 7 November 2023</ref>
