  • The Park Owners Walk Notes and Map
    HISTORIC OWNERS OF MIDDLETON PARK Middleton Park is a large green open space of over 500 acres. The woodland is the second largest semi-natural ancient woodland in West Yorkshire. The park was part of the manor of Middleton, which has been owned by the Gramaire family (1166-1300), the Creppings, the Leghes (1330-1706), the Brandlings (1706-1865) and the Tetleys (1865-1920). Further information can be found on the History section of the Friends© website. Lake (1) ± The lake is artificial and part of the historic parkland. It was probably originally a smaller winter fish pond for the medieval owners. The walk goes round the lake and into the woods, past the top of the clearings, and down the North facing slope to the old tram track. Ice House (2) ± In 2006, Robin Silverwood recalled the name ªIce Hillº for a north facing slope. The Archaeologist, Martin Roe, guessed that would be where the Lodge©s Ice House would be. Paul Hebden searched and found a few old bricks showing through the soil. Excavations by South Leeds Archaeology in May 2013, and Leeds YAC in July 2017, confirmed that this was indeed an Ice House. There will be a further excavation in June 2019 by Leeds YAC. The Ice House would have been built in the 1760©s when Middleton Lodge was built. Medieval Boundary Ditch (3) ± In 1200, in the reign of King John, William de Gramary of Middleton and John de Beeston had a long running dispute over who owned parts of Beeston Wood. William locked up Adam©s Forester in his stocks, and later, Williiam and his men robbed Adam of a cape, sword, cap and gold ring, and locked him up in the stocks too! In court William denied everything and eventually a Judicial Duel was ordered for the last day of Easter, 1201.

In recent years, there has been a large amount of housing clearance and widespread new development on land surrounding the original estates. The area is a great place to live, but we want to take that extra step and make it an even better place with good facilities and jobs in accessible locations, and a range of housing options. This Neighbourhood Framework has been prepared to set out the investment opportunities to help do this, building on the good work already done and complementing the strong local partnership working to improve all aspects of the area. It sets out where new houses could be built, improvements and changes to open space, and the potential for better local facilities. There has been a great deal of discussion with residents about the ideas included in this plan and we would like to thank everyone for their time.

Capital Scheme Number: 32690/000/000 Are specific electoral Wards affected? Yes No If relevant, name(s) of Ward(s): Middleton Park Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration? Is the decision eligible for Call-In? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, Access to Information Procedure Rule number: Appendix number: Summary of main issues 1. Middleton Park, which is managed by Leeds City Council and is in part owned by Wades Charity, is made up of a mixture of traditional parkland and ancient woodland. The site generates in excess of 2 million visits each year, 90% of which are drawn from a local catchment area which includes the wards of Middleton, Beeston, City and Holbeck and Hunslet. The site has benefited from significant recent investment following a successful application to the Heritage Lottery Fund, Parks for People scheme. That investment, coupled with the support and commitment of the Friends of Middleton Park, has led to significant improvements in the park not only in terms of the asset but also the range and breadth of activities that are available to support community participation and engagement. 2. In September 2014, Executive Board supported the closure of Middleton Park Golf Course, which was located within the park but managed in isolation of the broader estate, in order to realise a saving in revenue in light of declining participation.

The Office for National Statistics has divided the country into a number of “Super Output Areas” (SOAs) which contain on average 1500 people. The percentage of SOAs in 16 different wards in the central part of Leeds metropolitan district which are amongst the 20% most deprived SOAs for housing in the country are given in the table below and shown in figure 9.
