*************

Esholt is a village between Shipley and Guiseley, in the metropolitan district of the City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.

The name ""Esholt"" indicates that the village was first established in a heavily wooded area of ash trees.^{[citation needed]}

In the 12th century, the Esholt estate was owned by Syningthwaite Priory, and a nunnery was established at Lower Esholt. When the nunnery was dissolved in about 1540 the estate was granted to Henry Thompson by Edward IV.

The original manor house, Esholt Old Hall at Upper Esholt is medieval in origin, probably 16th century, and possibly once had a moat. It is well-preserved and has Grade II* listed building status.^[1]

In the 17th century the Thompson heiress married Walter Calverley (1629–1694) and in 1709 their son Walter built a Queen Anne style mansion house, Esholt Hall, on the site of the old nunnery. It is now used as a conference and staff learning centre and has Grade II* listed building status.^[1]

In 1775 the Calverleys sold the estate to Robert Stansfield whose family remained in possession until 1906 when it was sold to Bradford City Council. The current owner of the estate, Yorkshire Water, operates a sewage treatment plant on what was the location of the Airedale Aerodrome.^[2]

Historically part of the parish of Guiseley,^[3] the Church of St Paul is a successor to the private chapel of the old manor house. The church was built in 1839 by William Rookes Crompton-Stansfield for use as a private family chapel and not consecrated until 1853. Since 1983 it has been in the combined parish of Guiseley with Esholt.^[4]
