Nostell is an estate about 4 miles ESE of Wakefield the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England. It is in the civil parish of Huntwick with Foulby and Nostell which had a population of 90 in 2001,<ref>Office for National Statistics : Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Wakefield Template:Webarchive Retrieved 11 September 2009</ref> and 164 at the 2011 census (including Wintersett).<ref>Template:NOMIS2011</ref>
The Nostell Estate was centred on Nostell Priory, an 18th-century Palladian historic house, on the site of an Augustinian priory which received its charter in 1121. The house has interiors by Robert Adam and furniture by Thomas Chippendale. The house was owned by the Winn family and is now in the care of the National Trust.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Wragby Church is at the entrance to the grounds of Nostell Priory.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Coal mining on the Nostell Estate began in the 9th century and continued until 1987. Nostell Colliery was known locally as 'the family pit' due to the welfare schemes introduced by the Winn family far in advance of similar schemes before nationalisation. In 1880, terraced houses nicknamed "Cribbin's Lump" were built close to the colliery. They were renamed "New Crofton" by Lord St Oswald but the nickname remained until the houses were demolished in the 1980s. Nostell Colliery closed in 1987.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Nostell Cricket Club was established pre-1897 opposite the priory entrance.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
In the 1870–1872 Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, "Foulby, Nostell and Huntwick" was described as an extra-parochial tract within Pontefract parish, with a population of 145 people in 27 houses.<ref name="vob">Template:Cite web</ref>
