Farsley is a village in the Leeds district, in West Yorkshire, England, 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Leeds city centre and 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Bradford near Pudsey. Before 1974, Farsley was part of the Borough of Pudsey. Before 1937 it had its own urban district council. The ward of Calverley and Farsley also includes the estate of Swinnow and some northern parts of Pudsey.[2]

During the industrial revolution, Farsley was a centre for wool processing as there were a number of mills in the area. Sunny Bank Mills, still owned by the Gaunt family, is currently part of a huge multi-million revitalisation project bringing a new appreciation of Farsley's mill heritage.[3] Since 2022 the mills have served as the filming location for series 8 onwards of The Great British Sewing Bee.[4][5]

Farsley is just off the main road between Leeds and Bradford and just off the A6110 Leeds outer ring road. New Pudsey railway station is between Farsley and Pudsey providing train services towards Leeds, Bradford, Manchester Victoria and Blackpool.

History

Farsley was formerly a chapelry in the parish of Calverley,[6] in 1894 Farsley became an urban district. On 31 December 1894[7] Farsley became a civil parish, being formed from the parish of Calverley with Farsley in Farsley Urban District. On 1 April 1937 the district was abolished and merged with the Municipal Borough of Pudsey.[8] On 1 April 1937 the parish was also abolished and merged with Pudsey.[9] In 1931 the parish had a population of 6158.[10]

Etymology

The name Farsley is first attested in the 1086 Domesday Book as Fersellei and Ferselleia.[11] The second element of the name comes from the Old English word lēah ('open land in a wood'). The etymology of the first element is less certain, but thought either to be Old English fyrs ('gorse') or the putative *fers ('heifer'). Thus the name originally meant either a clearing characterised by gorse bushes or by grazing cattle.[12]: 46 

Education

In Farsley there are three primary schools: Farsley Farfield Primary School for 3 to 11-year-old children,[13] Westroyd Primary School and Nursery[14] for 3 to 11 year olds, and Farsley Springbank Primary School[15] for 4 to 11 year old pupils. The local secondary school is Co-op Academy Priesthorpe[16] with about 1,100 pupils.

Sport

Throstle Nest football ground

Farsley is home to the non-League football team Farsley Celtic F.C. who play at The Citadel (formally known as Throstle Nest). They were formed in 2010 to replace Farsley Celtic A.F.C. after they were wound up but are seen as a continuation of the previous club.

Farsley Cricket Club, whose ground is situated in Red Lane, play in the Bradford League Division 1. Raymond Illingworth, former England cricket captain, is their most notable former player.

Housing

Marsden Court flats, with low rise to left

Farsley has a variety of housing. Around Town Street are some older terrace houses and smaller cottages. To the west of Town Street is a small council estate, consisting mainly of flats, the tallest block being twelve stories high. Towards the outskirts of Farsley there are many large detached houses.

Notable people

  • The Rev. Samuel Marsden (born in Farsley)[17][18] was associated with the reformist William Wilberforce in England, was ordained in 1794, married Elisabeth Fristan, and then sailed to New South Wales, Australia. He arrived in Sydney on 10 March 1794, shortly after the birth of their first child, Anne. By 1795 he was settled in Parramatta, where he became Chaplain, wealthy landowner, farmer and magistrate. He was known as the "Flogging Parson", because even by the standards of his day, he inflicted severe punishments while acting as a magistrate.[17] This has been attributed to a dislike of Roman Catholics and Irish. Joseph Holt, an Irish priest and activist, left on account of a flogging ordered by Marsden.[citation needed] Sheephead Park is a memorial garden dedicated to Marsden and is situated on Farsley Town Street. The logo of Westroyd Primary School and Nursery, designed by a pupil, features a ram that was inspired by Sheephead Park.[19]
  • Sculptor John Wormald Appleyard (1831–1894) grew up in Farsley.[20] There is a stained glass window dedicated to him in St John's Church.[21]
  • Rugby league footballer Fred Farrar, whose nickname was The Farsley Flyer, was a member of Hunslet's 1907–08 All Four Cups winning team.[citation needed]

Community engagement

The Friends of Farsley Rehoboth Burial Ground charity was set up to purchase, reclaim and maintain a historic burial ground in Farsley, just off Coal Hill Lane. The group of volunteers won an Aviva Community Fund £1,000 grant[22] and went on to receive registered charity status.[23] The burial ground is situated in proximity to the Springfield Worsted Mill and the Bank Bottom Woollen Mill[24] and had been closed to the public for over 11 years before the charity gained ownership in June 2019.

A 2019 Armistice Day Service in Farsley Rehoboth was broadcast on BBC Look North.[25]

In November 2020 The Friends of Farsley Rehoboth reported they had been awarded a substantial grant of £14,200 from the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage Programme.[26]

The site's renovation has been achieved through collaboration with many local organisations including: Farsley Celtic FC, Farsley Parents and Toddlers Group, The Village Wine Bar, students from Co-op Academy Priesthorpe, the Gaunt family, Croft Street Fisheries, Co-op Community Fund, West Yorkshire Police cadets, local Councillor Andrew Carter CBE, Leeds City Council, and volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
