This station appears to have been about half a mile north of the church, for particulars of which, we must refer the reader to Thoresby and Whittaker. The Church of Adel, built not long before 1100, is one of the must perfect and beautiful specimens of Norman architecture in the county particularly when we consider its exposed situation. The rich and highly adorned entrance of the south side, appears to have been freed, at the request of Dr. Whittaker, by the present rector, the Rev. George Lewthwaite, in whose possession are many antquities found in the neighbouring station, mentioned before. An engraving of tbe south entrance, and another of the beautiful enriched arch entering the choir, are given in Whitaker's 'Loidis et Elmete', as well as the Norman capitals, and two Roman altars. Information on the following places in this Parish is contained on a supplementary page.
