About Kirk Ella

irk Ella is a village and civil parish on the western outskirts of Kingston upon Hull, approximately 5 miles (8 km) west of the city centre, situated in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The parish includes West Ella. The place has been a village since at least the 11th century – it remained a relatively unimportant hamlet until the 18th and 19th centuries when it became a location of choice for merchants of Hull wishing to live outside the city. Several large houses were built during this period without any substantial increase in village population. After the 1920s the village grew substantially with large amounts of high quality housing surrounding the traditional village centre – the village continued to grow during the second half of the 20th century, becoming a large suburb, contiguous with Anlaby and Willerby. The civil parish is called "Kirk Ella and West Ella".
