Kirk Ella is an urban area on the western outskirts of Kingston upon Hull, approximately west of the city centre, situated in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The place 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 twentieth century, becoming a large suburb, contiguous with Anlaby and Willerby. Together with West Ella it forms the civil parish of Kirk Ella and West Ella. ==Geography== :''See also Kirkella and West Ella civil parish'' 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 of fields.〔Ordnance Survey 1:25000 2006〕 The village skirts the foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds to the west, and rises from around 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 southeast of the original village centre, and church.〔〔Ordnance Survey. Sheets 225, 239. 1852, 1855 1:10560〕 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 has several shops including a mini supermarket, post office and newsagents. There is a primary school there named "Kirk Ella Primary School" and there are two pubs. There are several nice walks to do in Kirk Ella like the "Kirk Ella and Willerby Waterworks Walk" which is on the railway embankment of the old Hull to Barnsley railway. Kirk Ella lies within the Parliamentary constituency of Haltemprice and Howden.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Haltemprice and Howden )〕 The farm known as ''Kirk Ella Grange'' is to the northwest, far outside the village, halfway between Raywell and West Ella.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kirk Ella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
