Micklethwaite is a village in the civil parish of Bingley, in the Bradford district, in the county of West Yorkshire, England.
[1][2] The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being part of Bingley, among many other smaller settlements, and having six ploughlands and woodland.
[3][4] The village was recorded in the Domesday Book as Muceltu(o)it, and derives from two Old Norse words of Mikill and þveit, meaning Great Clearing.
[5][6][7][8] Historically in the wapentake of Skyrack, the village was linked as part of Bingley, with the township being known as Bingley-with-Micklethwaite.
[19] Part of the village was designated as a conservation area in 2005, which listed an accurate population of 270 people in Micklethwaite in 1996.
