Agbrigg and Morley

Agbrigg and Morley was a wapentake of the West Riding of Yorkshire, England.

The main purpose of the wapentake was the administration of justice by a local court.

[3] The Agbrigg Division included the parishes of Almondbury, Emley, Kirkburton, Kirkheaton, Normanton, Rothwell, Sandal Magna, Thornhill, Wakefield and Warmfield with Heath and parts of Batley, Dewsbury, Featherstone, Huddersfield and Rochdale.

The Morley Division included Birstall, Bradford, Calverley and parts of Batley, Huddersfield and Dewsbury.
