Background
History
]] Nearby earthworks named Pompocali, in the parish of Scarcroft, are of uncertain origin, but possibly a result of quarrying. A minor Roman road lies alongside it, suggesting that Pompocali results from Roman activity. A motte-and-bailey castle dates back to the time immediately following the Norman conquest. Bardsey also claims the oldest Anglo-Saxon tower church in England, with the tower of All Hallows church dating back to . The Bingley Arms is a public house that claims to be England's oldest public house, and to be recorded in the Domesday Book, although these claims are disputed. Bardsey railway station on the Cross Gates–Wetherby line opened in 1876 and closed in 1964.
