| | GENUKI: Adel |
 | | "ADEL, a parish-town, in the upper-division of Skyrack; 4 miles from Harewood, 5 from Leeds, 7 from Otley, 24 from York. |
 | | The Church of Adel, built not long before 1100, is one of the must perfect and beautiful specimens of Norman architecture in the county particularly when we consider its exposed situation. |
 | | The rich and highly adorned entrance of the south side, appears to have been freed, at the request of Dr. Whittaker, by the present rector, the Rev. George Lewthwaite, in whose possession are many antquities found in the neighbouring station, mentioned before. |
