Origin of the name
[edit]The suggestion that the name derives from old French looks spurious to me. First of all the word "Dale" isn't French and "Chapel" is as likely to be English as French - only "le" gives the suggestion of French origin. As the article says though, the name was first recorded as "Chapell ith Dale" i.e. Chapel i' th' Dale, which is simply a contraction in the common Yorkshire manner of "Chapel in the Dale" - the "le" then arises from running the "l" in "chapel" onto the "i".
