Area, 3,970 acres. Harthill wapentake. Hunsley Beacon. -Population, 556 *1; Church-room, 300; Net value, £110. -The manor was an ancient possession of the Archbishops of York, until passed away by Archbishop Lee to the Crown, 36th Henry VIII.

The Church was parcel of the ancient possessions of the Dean and Chapter of York, and was confirmed to them in 1194 by the bull of Pope Celestine III., and a Vicarage ordained therein, in 1264. They were Rectors thereof, which Rectory was let at £37 per annum to a Canon Residentiary. Mr. Torre gives the purport of an endowment, but no date.

There was an augmentation made in 1318 by the Dean and Chapter of the tithes of Northdale, and a subsequent augmentation of £10 per annum.

Torre gives a catalogue of Vicars, commencing in 1264, which is continued by Oliver *2.

Patrons and impropriators, the Dean and Chapter of York.

Valued in the King's books, at £5. 6s. 8d.; in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. xvii. page 342, and vol. xviii. page 82, it is stated : " The Rectory is leased out by the Dean and Chapter at £37 reserved rent. Tithes are worth £165, and eight oxgangs £30 per annum. Kelin, vol. xvii. page 343, to be united to Bishop Burton ;" -and in 1818, at £90 per annum.

Augmented in 1820, with £400 from the Parliamentary grant, by lot ; and in 1821, with £300 from the same grant, to meet benefactions of £100 from the Dean and Chapter of York, and £100 from Mrs. Pyncombe's trustees.

An Inclosure Act was passed 7th Geo. III.

The nave was recently rebuilt, under faculty granted 6th March 1820. The tower and chancel are old.

Formerly the Dean and Chapter of York exercised jurisdiction within the parish.

The glebe house appears by the return made in the year 1834 to be unfit for residence.

The Register Books commence in 1562.
