Area 760 acres. Ainsty wapentake. -Population, 445; Church-room, 290; Net value, £134. -In the town of Thorpe St. Andrew are three carucates of land, whereof Robert Bustard held two carucates of the King in capite, at the rent of four marks per annum; and the Arch bishop of York held 10 oxgangs of the fee of Lutterell; and Robert de Holdebert held six oxgangs of Richard de Malbys, of the honour of Eye, at the rent of 6d. per annum; and the Prior of St. Andrew's in York, held 17 oxgangs in the same town.

The Church was appropriated by Archbishop Gifford, in 1269, to the Priory of St. Clement's, near York, and a Vicarage ordained therein, 1st November 1269. See the particulars of this ordination in Torre's MS. and Drake's Eboracum. The Vicar is charged with the reparation of the Chancel, but at the new building thereof shall bear only his proportion.

At the Dissolution, the patronage came to the Crown, but by Act of Parliament, 20th Geo. II. cap. 20, it was restored to the Archbishop in exchange for Helperby.
