Harewood, West Yorkshire
Harewood ( ) is a village, civil parish, former manor and ecclesiastical parish, in West Yorkshire, England, today in the metropolitan borough of the City of Leeds. The civil parish population at the 2011 census was 3,734. Etymology The name of Harewood is first attested in the tenth-century Rushworth Gospels manuscript, in the form ''æt Harawuda'' ('at Harewood'); it is next attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, as ''Hareuuode''. Although consideration has been given to an origin involving the Old English word ''hār'' ('grey'), commentators agree that, as the name's present-day form suggests, the name comes from the Old English words ''hara'' (' hare') and ''wudu'' ('wood'). Thus it once meant 'wood characterised by hares'. Location Harewood sits in the Harewood ward of Leeds City Council and Elmet and Rothwell parliamentary constituency. The A61 from Leeds city centre to Harrogate passes through the village. The A659 from Collingham joins the A61 outside the main ...

Harewood (material)
The term harewood or airwood originally described a type of maple wood, including sycamore maple, with a curled or "fiddleback" figure, used to make the backs of stringed instruments. In 17th-century England it was imported from Germany. The earliest published use of the term is probably that in the 1670 edition of '' Sylva'': In the 18th century airwood came to be used by marqueteurs; for most artificial colours they used holly, which takes vegetable dyes very well, but airwood was employed either in its natural off-white state or stained with iron sulphate to produce a range of silver and silver-grey hues.Peter Weber, ''The Cabinet-Maker's Guide'', 2nd edn., London (1809), p. 9. The reason that airwood was preferred to holly for this colour was that it gave a metallic sheen or lustre, while holly dyed by the same process turned a rather dead grey.
