Ledsham, West Yorkshire

[1] Ledsham is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Ledesha, as belonging to Ilbert of Lacy and having six villagers, three ploughlands, and 5 acres (2 ha) of meadow.[4][5] Ledsham was an ancient parish in the wapentake of Barkston Ash in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[7] To the east is Selby Fork junction, which is also partly in South Milford, in North Yorkshire, but previously in the West Riding; in the early 1960s, the M62 motorway was planned to have its eastern terminus at Ledsham, possibly at the Selby Fork junction.[12] Since 1974 Ledsham has been a part of the metropolitan borough of the City of Leeds, in the county of West Yorkshire.[13][14] It is its own civil parish, and is in the Kippax and Methley ward for local affairs, and is in the Elmet and Rothwell Constituency for national level politics.
