"LEEMING, in the parish of Burneston; wapentake of Halikeld, and liberty of Richmondshire; 2¾ miles NNW. of Burneston, 2 miles ENE. of Bedale. This ancient village seems to give its name to Leeming lane, which exhibits a fine specimen of the improvements made in public roads in modern times. This road is under the management of Mr. M'Adam, whose simple but efficient system consists principally in so constructing the road as to make all parts of it equally fit for carriages, and in breaking the materials small which are used in the repairs. This road was the Herman-street of the Romans, which extended northward as far Inverness. The Church is a perpetual curacy, dedicated to St. John, of which the Rev. J. Monson, A. M. is curate. Population included with Exilby and Newton."

"LEEMING BAR, a hamlet in the parish of Burneston, and the township of Gatenby. (There is no mention of Leeming Bar in the 1820s, and it appears to have been built up around the railway station). The Church is dedicated to St. Augustine."

"LONDONDERRY, in the parish of Burneston, wapentake of Halikeld, and liberty of Richmondshire (the seat of the Rev. John Raper Hunton); 1¾ miles N. of Burneston, 2½ miles E. of Bedale. Newton house, a hunting box, belonging to the Right Hon. the Earl of Darlington, is situated in this village. The above house was sold to Lord Darlington ten or twelve years ago; and in the latter end of the year 1821, a chimney belonging to it was blown down, the materials of which were precipitated through the roof, and killed a young lady in her bed. The house has since been taken down, and re-built on the site of the old one, leaving that part upon which the young lady's room stood a sort of vacuum in the middle of the house. The Countess of Darlington educates, at her own expense, twenty poor children in this township."
