Aberford is a village and civil parish on the eastern outskirts of the City of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England.

An Anglo-Saxon gold ring, inscribed with the name of King Alfred the Great's sister Æthelswith, was found in a ploughed field near the village in 1870.

[12] Since the early 1990s much new housing has been constructed, as increasing affluence allows people to move away from city centres to rural and suburban areas.

The school was originally a tithe barn and is owned by the Archdeacon of York following  its transfer from the Vicar of Aberford.

At the south end of Aberford is what used to be Hicklam Mill Farm now a small certified caravan and camping site.
