Wath (near Ripon)
Wath (''alias'' Wath-by-Ripon) is a village and civil parish north of Ripon in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. The population of the parish was estimated at 210 in 2015. The parish church is dedicated to St Mary. History The name ''Wath'' derives from Old Norse and means "ford", which has led to speculation that the name associates with a crossing through water, most likely Wath Beck at the east end of the village. The village is noted in the Domesday Book where it was in the ownership of Count Alan, having previously been owned by ''Archil'' and ''Rothschil'' in 1066. William the Conqueror granted to Count Alan. The manor and village were in dispute about ownership through the first half of the 13th century. These disputes culminated in a Papal Court which decided that the two warring parties would submit a champion each in a duel. The abbot of Mont St Michel feared for his life, and that of his champion, and so renounced all claims on the village. ...

Wath, Ryedale
Wath is a small hamlet in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated at the northern edge of the Howardian Hills AONB, about east of Hovingham on the B1257 road which crosses here over Wath Beck.

Wath, sometimes known as Wath-in-Nidderdale to distinguish it from other places named Wath, is a village in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England.

Wath upon Dearne (shortened to Wath or often hyphenated) is a town south of the River Dearne in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England, north of Rotherham and almost midway between Barnsley and Doncaster. It had a population of 11,816 at the 2011 census. It is twinned with Saint-Jean-de-Bournay in France. History Wath can be traced to Norman times.

The town received a Royal Charter in 1312–1313 entitling it to a weekly Tuesday market and an annual two-day fair, but these were soon discontinued. The market was revived in 1814.
