Allerton (wapentake)
Allertonshire or Allerton was a wapentake and liberty in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England. Northallerton, current name of Allerton, was historically associated with the Bishopric of Durham, being an ecclesiastical peculiar and exclave until the 19th century. The shire's central location in the North Riding (1889-1974) and its successor North Yorkshire (1974–present) allowed the town to become the administrative centre for both counties. The contiguous part of the wapentake included the ancient parishes of: * Birkby * Kirby Sigston * Leake *Northallerton * Osmotherley * North Otterington * Thornton-le-Street The wapentake also included exclaves of: *the extra parochial area of Hutton Conyers *the parish of West Rounton *the parish of Sessay *the Yorkshire part of the parish of Sockburn (townships of Girsby and Over Dinsdale) The wapentake also included part of the parish of Kirklington, including the vill of Howgrave.

Yorkshire Administrative Map 1832

The county was named after its county town, the city of York. The south-west of Yorkshire is densely populated, and includes the cities of Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Doncaster and Wakefield. The north and east of the county are more sparsely populated, however the north-east includes the southern part of the Teesside conurbation, and the port city of Kingston upon Hull is located in the south-east.

Hullshire
Hullshire, or the County of the Town of Kingston upon Hull, was a county corporate in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, which was created in 1440. It was an area that was removed from the jurisdiction of the Sheriff of Yorkshire to come under the authority of the Sheriff of Kingston upon Hull instead. The term Hullshire was particularly used for the part of the county corporate that lay outside the borough of Kingston upon Hull, covering an area to the west of the borough containing the three parishes of Hessle, Kirk Ella and North Ferriby. In 1838 the county corporate was reduced in area to match the borough. The borough remained a county corporate with its own sheriff until 1974. History The borough of Kingston upon Hull (generally known as Hull) was granted county corporate status in 1440 in the reign of Henry VI, when it was given the right to appoint its own sheriff, giving it judicial independence from the Sheriff of Yorkshire. An area to the west of Hull was added ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Howdenshire
Howdenshire was a wapentake and a liberty of England, lying around the town of Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire. In the Anglo-Saxon period, the district was under the control of Peterborough's monastery, but it was confiscated by Edward the Confessor, and then given to the Bishop of Durham by William I of England. It came to operate as an exclave of County Durham, much like Allertonshire, but under the dean of Durham rather than the bishop. This peculiarity was abolished in 1846, but the district is still in use for certain administrative purposes.

Hallamshire
Hallamshire (or Hallam) is the historical name for an area of South Yorkshire, England, approximating to the current City of Sheffield local government area. The origin of the name is uncertain. The English Place-Name Society describe "Hallam" originating from a formation meaning "on the rocks". Alternative theories are that it is derived from ''halgh'' meaning an area of land at a border,David Hey, ''Historic Hallamshire'' Old Norse ''hallr'' meaning a slope or hill, or Old English ''heall'' meaning a hall or mansion. The exact boundaries of this historic district are unknown, but it is thought to have covered the parishes of Sheffield, Ecclesfield, and Bradfield, Sheffield, Bradfield—an area roughly equivalent to those parts of the present-day borough of the City of Sheffield that lie to the west of the rivers River Don, South Yorkshire, Don and River Sheaf, Sheaf that are within the boundaries of the Historic counties of England, ancient county of Yorkshire (later ...

Victoria County History
The Victoria History of the Counties of England, commonly known as the Victoria County History (VCH), is an English history project which began in 1899 with the aim of creating an encyclopaedic history of each of the historic counties of England, and was dedicated to Queen Victoria. In 2012 the project was rededicated to Queen Elizabeth II in celebration of her Diamond Jubilee year. Since 1933 the project has been coordinated by the Institute of Historical Research in the University of London. History The history of the VCH falls into three main phases, defined by different funding regimes: an early phase, 1899–1914, when the project was conceived as a commercial enterprise, and progress was rapid; a second more desultory phase, 1914–1947, when relatively little progress was made; and the third phase beginning in 1947, when, under the auspices of the Institute of Historical Research, a high academic standard was set, and progress has been slow but reasonably steady.

Howgrave
Howgrave is a civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is a very small parish, with an area of only and an estimated population in 2014 of only 10. There is no modern village in the parish.

Until the 19th century both parishes were townships in the ancient parish of Kirklington in the North Riding of Yorkshire, but small parts of Howgrave were detached parts of two other townships and parishes.

Vill
Vill is a term used in English, Welsh and Irish history to describe a basic rural land unit, roughly comparable to that of a parish, manor, village or tithing. Medieval developments The vill was the smallest territorial and administrative unit—a geographical subdivision of the hundred and county—in Anglo-Saxon England. It served both a policing function through the tithing, and the economic function of organising common projects through the village moot. The term is the Anglicized form of the word , used in Latin documents to translate the Anglo-Saxon . The vill remained the basic rural unit after the Norman Conquest—land units in the Domesday Book are frequently referred to as vills—and into the late medieval era. Whereas the manor was a unit of landholding, the vill was a territorial one—most vills did ''not'' tally physically with manor boundaries—and a public part of the royal administration. The vill had judicial and policing functions, including frankpledge, as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
