Shipley is an historic market town and civic parish within the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom, on the River Aire and the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, just north of Bradford. The population of Shipley Ward in the Bradford Metropolitan Borough Council, as taken by the 2011 census, was 15,483. Before 1974, Shipley was a township in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

The city formed a contiguous urban district with Bradford. It has a population of about 28,162.

The place-name Shipley is derived from two words, the Old English word scip (sheep, the Northumbrian dialect form, as opposed to the Anglophone dialect form, scep, that is at the heart of modern English sheep) and leah, meaning either “forest, woodland, glade, glade” or, later, “pasture, grassland”. It has thus been variously defined as a “forest clearing used by sheep” or “sheeps pasture”. Shipley appears to have been first settled during the Late Bronze Age, and is mentioned in Domesday Book of 1086, as the Sycelii.

Its early history is based on records of the succession of Lords of the Manor, not all of whom were permanently resident. The records of the manors courts are missing from the 18th century, leaving an incomplete record.

In the 12th century, Adam, son of Peter, an earlier Lord of the manor, granted the rights of pasture and mining for iron ore to monks at Rievaulx Abbey. In 1495, Rosamund Gascoigne, the daughter of one of the William Gascoignes holding this title, married Robert Rawson, thought to be related to the Rawson family in Bradford, from which one of the town markets was named. Their son, William, married his cousin, Agnes Gascoigne, and by the marriage, the Rawson family had inherited the manor in 1570. The Rawsons lived at Overhall, known as Manor House, which is the location of the present Town Hall.

The Manors property extended as far north as Northcliffe. The family had interests in Halifax, moving there in the early 18th century, holding on to its estate at Shipley until its last male heir died in 1745. By the 19th century, Rawsons estates, as well as the estates of Fields, another notable family with landed property, had become property of the Earl of Rosse, who had large estates at Heaton. His legacy lives on through the name of the public house on Bradfords main route to Keighley, and in the Rossefield school at Heaton.

Of lower orders there is little known about this period, but relief accommodation was offered on a city-run basis, not far from Crawghyll.
