Kirk Ella
Kirk Ella is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The parish includes the village of West Ella. The village is situated 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Hull.
Kirk Ella has been a village since at least the 11th century: it remained a relatively unimportant hamlet until the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became a location of choice for merchants of Hull wishing to live outside the city. Several large houses were built during this period, without any substantial increase in village population. After the 1920s, the village grew substantially, with large amounts of high quality housing surrounding the traditional village centre. The village continued to grow during the second half of the 20th century, becoming a large suburb, contiguous with Anlaby and Willerby.
The civil parish is called "Kirk Ella and West Ella".
Kirk Ella is primarily residential, but has a few shops. Modern Kirk Ella is contiguous with the suburbs of Willerby to the north; and Anlaby to the east; the village of West Ella is to the west, separated by a golf course; to the south is Hessle separated by under one kilometre (5⁄8 mile) of fields.
The village skirts the foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds to the west, and rises from around 10 to 40 metres (35–130 ft) above sea level east to west. Housing stock is affluent, much of it detached or semi detached, with large back gardens; street layouts are irregular, curved, with no main roads passing through the village. Much of the housing development is to the south-east of the original village centre, and church. An area of Kirk Ella including the church, Church Lane, and parts of Packman Lane and Godmans Lane has been designated a conservation area (since 1974), mainly due to its interesting and varied housing stock. The large gardens in much of the village contribute to a wide variety of native and non-native trees and bushes, and thriving wildlife.
Kirk Ella lies within the Parliamentary constituency of Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice.
The farm known as Kirk Ella Grange is to the north-west, far outside the village, halfway between Raywell and West Ella.
The civil parish is located at the north-western edge of the suburbs of Kingston upon Hull, within the East Riding of Yorkshire. The parish is bounded by the former route of the Hull and Barnsley Railway to the north-east, including an embanked section, and part of the route converted to the B1232 road; by the A164 road to the west and north-west; and by the B1231 to the south.
