Bulmer wapentake. - Population, 152 *1; Church-room, 60 *2; Net value (with Marton), £130. -Farlington contained three carucates and one oxgang of land, whereof the Church was endowed with two oxgangs, and John de Farlington held the residue of Ralph de Neville, and he of Peter de Malolacu, and he of the King in capite.

This is a Chapel, formerly in the parish of Sheriff Hutton, given to the Priory of Marton with Sheriff Hutton ; but having been augmented by Queen Anne's bounty, it is now become a Benefice, and is in all respects parochial, but it still contributes to the repairs of Sheriff Hutton Church. Farlington pays one-seventh to the repairs of Sheriff Hutton Church, and the bell of the latter Church is always tolled on funerals, and 2d. paid.
