About

Churwell is a built-up suburb and former village in the City of Leeds, West Yorkshire, sitting about four miles south‑west of Leeds city centre and immediately adjacent to Morley. The settlement grew up along Churwell Hill, where a continuous strip of shops and services follows the road down the slope. Housing mixes older terraces from the 19th century with later 20th‑century developments, and local life is organised around a compact centre rather than a dispersed pattern. Administration falls under Leeds City Council and the area is commonly described as part of the wider Morley locality.

Everyday facilities include a primary school, small convenience stores, and a handful of pubs clustered on the main road, with frequent bus links into Leeds and to Morley. Green space and short walks link Churwell to neighbouring suburbs, and many residents use the centre as a base for commuting or local shopping. The settlement’s linear layout along Churwell Hill gives clear sightlines down towards the city, and the hill itself marks the transition between the built area and surrounding open ground.
