Bagley is a village in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England, once in the township of Farsley.
[1] The name of Bagley is first attested in both its current spelling and the form Baglay in 1344.
While the etymology of the first element is uncertain, it is thought to be from a putative Old English word *bagga ('badger').
[2]: 19–20 A number of old buildings in the area have survived, including the former Bagley Baptist Church, a Grade II listed building, located on Bagley Lane.
[3] A nearby stream, known as Bagley Beck, runs past the place on its way to the River Aire, crossing the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Rodley.
