==Name==
The name ''Chapel Allerton'' is first attested in the [[Domesday Book]] simply as ''Alreton'' and similarly spelled variants. It probably comes from [[Old English]] ''alor'' '[[alder]]' (in its [[genitive]] [[plural]] form ''alra'') and ''tūn'' 'estate, farm', thus meaning 'Alder farm'.<ref name=":0"Smith>A. H. Smith, ''The Place-Names of the West Riding of Yorkshire'', English Place-Names Society, 30–37, 8 vols (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1961–63), iv, 137–38.</ref><ref name=":1"Parkin>Harry Parkin, ''Your City's Place-Names: Leeds'', English Place-Name Society City-Names Series, 3 (Nottingham: English Place-Names Society, 2017), p. 34.</ref>
 
The ''Chapel'' part of the name refers to a chapel associated with [[Kirkstall Abbey]]. This building was demolished in the eighteenth century; the site remains between Harrogate Road and Church Lane.<ref name=LeedsPlan/> Already in 1240 a charter referred to land "which lies between the road which goes to the Chapel of Allerton and the bounds of Stainbeck",<ref name=HolyR>[http://www.movinghere.org.uk/deliveryfiles/wyas/WYL5046_7/0/3.pdf Holy Rosary Church Leeds] Silver Jubilee 1937–1962</ref> but the name ''Chapel Alreton'' is first attested in the fourteenth century, coined to distinguish the place from the many other places called ''Allerton'', such as the nearby [[Allerton Gledhow]] and [[Moor Allerton]].<ref name=":1" Smith/><ref name=":0" Parkin/>
 
The name ''Chapel Allerton'' was reduced to ''Chapeltown'' (first attested in 1427), and from this time both names co-existed and were essentially interchangeable.<ref name=Faulkner>R.

==History==
FormerlyBefore the area[[Norman Conquest]] (1066–1072) it was understooda totownship occupycovering about five square miles, including what are now known as [[Alwoodley]], [[Meanwood]], [[Buslingthorpe, Leeds|Buslingthorpe]], [[Scott Hall, Leeds|Scott Hall]], [[Gledhow]], [[Carr Manor]], [[Moortown, Leeds|Moortown]] and [[Moor Allerton]].<ref name=Clarke>{{cite book |last=Clarke |first=Eric |date=1988 |title=Chapel Allerton: an outline history of an urban village|location=Leeds |publisher=Leeds Flower Fund for the ElderleyElderly}}</ref> This larger area included a major and a minor Roman road, and a Roman altar was discovered in the foundations of the Sexton's cottage for the old Church of St Matthew when it was demolished in 1880.<ref name=Clarke/>
 
This area was substantially destroyed by [[William the Conqueror]] in what was known as the [[Harrying of the North]], leaving only the remnants of a village with a church around the present-day centre.<ref name=Tucker>{{cite book |last=Tucker |first=Janet |date=1987 |title=Chapel Allerton Historic and Architectural Trail |url= |location=Leeds|publisher=Manpower Services Commission |page= |isbn= |author-link= }}</ref> This is shown by the reduction in value from 40 to 2 shillings in the [[Domesday Book]] (1086).
In the [[Domesday Book]], the entry reads:
''...In Alreton, Glunier had six carucates of land to be taxed, and there may be three ploughs there. Ilbert now has it, and it is waste. Value in King Edward's time forty shillings, now two shillings. There is a church there and wood pasture half a mile long and a half broad.''▼
 
The entry reads:
[[William the Conqueror]] awarded the area to the Lacy family, who later sold it to Simon de Alreton, who later bestowed most of it to [[Kirkstall Abbey]] in 1152. The Abbey later sold much of it to the [[Mauleverer baronets|Mauleverer]] family of [[Potternewton]]. With the [[Dissolution of the monasteries]] (1536-1541) Kirkstall Abbey and its estates were taken over by the crown, and [[Queen Elizabeth I]] sold the Lordship of Chapel Allerton to Thomas Killingbeck.<ref name=Clarke/>▼

In medieval times, the area was mostly small farms, with a village (and chapel) centred on a crossroads. In 1645 there was a plague (probably [[cholera]]) in Leeds, particularly virulent around the town markets. Instead of travelling in to sell produce, the people from Chapel Allerton sold it at Chapeltown Green, at the north end of what is now Chapeltown Road. To pay, the buyer had to put money into a basin of vinegar, specially built into a wall.<ref name=Clarke/>
Chapel Allerton was incorporated into [[Leeds]] administrative area in 1869, as a [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]]. However, in 1900 it was still a village, isolated from Leeds and neighbouring Meanwood and Moortown by fields, which were gradually filled in with housing and new roads in the 20th&nbsp;century.<ref name=Noble>{{cite book |last1=Brown |first1=Michael|last2=Hallett |first2=George |date=1999 |title=Noble and Spacious: St Matthew's Chapel Allerton 1900–2000 |publisher=St Matthews, Chapel Allerton |pages=124–5 |quote=Article by Reg Simmons from the Parish Chronicle of 1950 }}</ref>▼
 
Chapeltown Moor was an open area extending from Stainbeck Lane on the north down to Potternewton Lane on the south, bounded to the west by the stream known as Stain Beck and the turnpike road to Harrogate on the east. In the 17th and 18th centuries it had a racecourse and was also used for archery, cricket, foot racing, and cockfighting. It was finally enclosed between 1803 and 1813. In 1644 three men were hanged on a gallows there, roughly where the 1878 school is.<ref name=Tucker/>
