Easby is a hamlet and civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated near Richmond on the banks of the River Swale, approximately {{convert|12|mi}} north west from the county town of Northallerton. The population taken by ONS was less than 100. Population information is included in the parish of Hudswell.

History

The hamlet is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Asebi whose lands belonged to Count Alan of Brittany. He had granted the lordship of the manor to Thor at the time of the Norman Conquest, but it had passed to Enisant Mussard, Constable of Richmond Castle, by 1086. There were seven households and five ploughlands at a taxable value of six geld units.[1] The manor passed from Enisant to Roald de Richmond and then to descent of the lords of Constable Burton. The lands were held as demesne lordships by the Marmion and Fitz Hugh families into the 12th century, but eventually they were granted to the nearby Abbey who held them until the dissolution. The Crown then granted the manor in 1537 to John, Lord Scrope of Bolton. Edward VI granted the manor to Edmund Boughtell upon his ascension to the Crown, but this was reverted in 1557 to Ralph Gower. By 1579 though the manor was back in the possession of the Scrope family. It remained with them until sold to Bartholomew Burton in 1726 who also sold it onto the Rev William Smith of Melsonby. His heirs sold it to Robert Knowsley in 1786 who quickly sold it to Cuthbert Johnson. It eventually came into the possession of the Jaques family by 1816.[2][3]

The etymology of the name is derived from an Old Norse personal name, Esi and the suffix -by to mean Esi's farm.[4][5]

Geography and governance

The hamlet is a collection of dispersed dwellings on the banks of the River Swale approximately {{convert|1|mi}} south east of Richmond south of the B6271 road. The hamlet lies within the Richmond (Yorks) UK Parliament constituency. It also lies within the Catterick Bridge electoral division of the North Yorkshire County Council and the Brompton-on-Swale and Scorton ward of Richmondshire District Council.[6]

The 2001 UK Census includes the parish of Easby into the larger area of Brompton-on-Swale.[8] The 2011 Census showed the population as 197 for the Parish alone.[9]

Religion

The Church of St Agatha was built at the beginning of the 12th century and underwent restoration work in 1869. Like the Abbey ruins and the gatehouse, it is also a Grade I listed building.[10]

Notable buildings

Easby Abbey, which is in ruins, was one of many dissolved by Henry VIII as part of the reformation. The important Anglo-Saxon stone Easby Cross of 800-820 is currently in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, but the church, from whose walls three of the four fragments were recovered in 1931, displays a plaster cast. The ruins are a Grade I listed building[11] as is the Abbey Gatehouse.[12]

Notable residents

  • Rev William Smith (1653-1735), antiquarian and master of the jewel house in the reign of Charles I, was born in the hamlet. He was a graduate of University College, Oxford.[13]
