Calverley is a village in the Metropolitan Borough City of Leeds in West Yorkshire in England .
In the Domesday Book of 1068 the place is called Calverlei (a) .
The medieval Calverley Old Hall mansion was the seat of the Calverley family. Like most of the older buildings in the village, it was made of sandstone . The Anglican parish church of St. Wilfrid dates in part from the 11th or 12th century. There is also a Methodist church from 1872. Both churches are listed buildings.
In Calverley - in the 19th century - as in many places in Yorkshire mining on coal operated.
While Pudsey and Farsley were counted for centuries to the parish of Calverley, it became part of the Municipal Borough of Pudsey together with Farsley in 1937 and belongs to the Metropolitan Borough of Leeds since 1974 .
The A657 main road from Bramley to Saltaire runs through Calverley . To the north, the railway line from Leeds to Shipley passes, where the town of Calverley and Rodley had a train station until around 1965, of which individual buildings still exist.
