Kettlethorpe, originally a separate village, is a suburb that lies 2.5 miles (4 km) south of Wakefield city centre, in West Yorkshire, England. [1] The suburb has a secondary education school, Kettlethorpe High School, which is a specialist maths and computing college. It was deemed to be good by Ofsted in 2011 and again in 2016. [2]
Kettlethorpe Hall was built in 1727 [3] by the Pilkington family. It has been converted into two separate houses.
