==History==

All Hallows Church in Bardsey, which comes within the city's present administrative boundaries and is approximately 8 miles north-east of the city centre, was constructed in c. 850 AD and is one of the oldest buildings in the area. It remains an active parish church within the Anglican archdeaconry of Leeds, within the wider Diocese of Leeds. By c. 880 AD, Leeds was like all of Yorkshire and much of the [[Midlands]] and [[East Anglia]] a part of the Danelaw, a part of Anglo-Saxon England in which the laws of the Danes applied. The Shire Oak in Headingley (now a suburb of Leeds) was a tree at which local Scandinavian settlers may have held meetings.

Following the end of Anglo-Saxon England after the Norman conquest of 1066, Leeds was recorded in the [[Domesday Book]] (1086) (as ''Ledes'') as having a population of 27 villagers, 4 freemen, 4 smallholders and 1 priest in 36 households.<ref>[https://opendomesday.org/place/SE3033/leeds/ Leeds Domesday Book]</ref> Its recorded tenant-in-chief was Ilbert of Lacy (1045-1093), who had received Leeds as part of a large fief of lands mainly in Yorkshire but also in [[Lincolnshire]] and [[Nottinghamshire]]. The De Lacy family (who took their name from Lassy in [[Normandy]]) would play a significant role in the politics of Norman-era Northern and Midland England.
