Finghall is a village and civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England.[2][3] In 2001 Finghall had a population of 126, and this had increased to 166 at the 2011 census. It is located south of the A684, about 7 miles west of Bedale and about 4 miles east of Leyburn. The church is dedicated to St. Andrew.

The origin of the place-name is from the Old English words Fin, inga and halt meaning a nook of land of the family or followers of a man called Fina. The place-name appears as Finegala in the Domesday Book of 1086 and as Finyngale in 1157.[4]

Culture and community

The village public house is the Queen's Head. The willows that line the beck to the north of the village, of which there is a good view from the dining room and terrace of the pub, are said to have inspired Kenneth Grahame to write The Wind in the Willows. The village to the east is called Newton-le-Willows.

Famous residents
