History

The oldest record which names the village is dated 963 AD.[2] It records a grant of land in Sherburn-in-Elmet and nearby settlements by King Eadgar to Aelsac as a reward for goods and services. The land granted in Hillam is described as, "on Hillum tyesra oxena gang" meaning "in Hillam two oxgangs".[3] An oxgang was the related to the amount of land an ox could plough in a year and is roughly equated to 15 acres.

The York and North Midland Railway passes to the west of Hillam. There is a level crossing known as Hillam Gates. The spot is popular with railway enthusiasts.[4]
