The Hall was given to Leeds City Council in 1968 by the Gascoigne family, who have lived in the region for a long time. It now houses items from the art collections belonging to the City of Leeds. There is furniture, sculpture and fine silver from the Gascoigne family treasures. In the grounds is a tiny but well-preserved Norman chapel and a bird garden containing over 200 species.

This small museum is devoted to local history, archaeology, costume and life.

Lined with corbelled houses, this is the most popular of the many picturesque streets in the city. Nearby, Pavement, with its church dedicated to all saints, is thus named because it was the first paved street of the Middle Ages.

Bolton Priory was founded by the Augustinians in around 1154 in a setting of great beauty on a bend in the River Wharfe. On the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1534, the lead was stripped from all the roofs except for the nave of the church and the gatehouse; the nave is still intact. The front of the church is an outstanding example of Early English architecture.
