Kirk Ella is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England and is located around 5 miles (8 km) west of the city of Kingston upon Hull. Together with West Ella it forms the civil parish of Kirk Ella and West Ella.
The traditional centre of the village is the area around St Andrew's Church, which is a Grade I listed building. The village centre is home to a local shop, newsagent and several other businesses. The hair salon owned and run by British and International Hairdresser of the Year, Mark Hill, is also situated in the village centre.
The singer David Whitfield lived here in the 1960s in a house called Cara Mia.[1]
Kirk Ella is surrounded to the east by the neighbouring villages of Willerby and Anlaby, to the north also by Willerby, and to the west by West Ella and Swanland. To the south lie a few miles of agricultural land, before the town of Hessle.
Along with its neighbours West Ella and Swanland, Kirk Ella makes up one of the most exclusive areas of East Riding of Yorkshire.
Kirk Ella was served by Willerby and Kirk Ella railway station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway between 1885 and 1955.[2]
