Kiddal

KIDDAL, a hamlet, in the parish of Barwick-in-Elmett, Lower division of the wapentake of Skyrack, W. riding of York, 7½ miles (N. E. by E.) from Leeds. Kiddal Hall, for many generations the residence of the Ellis family, from whom descended Dr. Ellis, Bishop of Kildare, and the late Rt. Hon. Welbore Ellis, is a beautiful specimen of the ancient style of domestic architecture, now the property of the Wilkinson family, of Potterton. The most striking feature in this interesting mansion is the elegant oriel window of the principal apartment; it is of bold and stately character, and of the richest period of the later English style.

Transcribed from A Topographical Dictionary of England, by Samuel Lewis, seventh edition, published 1858.
