 Tong of Tong, Bradford - conservation area
Tong is in the extreme southeast of Bradford District in a green wedge of land between the urban areas of Bradford and Leeds, the centre of the former being 5km to the northwest and the centre of the latter being about 6km to the northeast.
Although surrounded by Green Belt, most of the settlements nearest to Tong are urban in character, Tong Street being 2.5km to the west of the village, Drighlington 1.5km to the south, Gildersome, 2.5 km to the southeast and New Farnley 2km to the east.
Asolf, an extensive landowner in West Riding, appears to have been lord of Tong Manor from around 1135 to about 1159 and it is therefore probably he who rebuilt the church in about 1140 on the site of the demolished pre-Conquest church.
