History
The notable All Saints church is situated just north of Easthorpe in Appleton-le-Street. It is a Grade I listed Saxon church which escaped "improvement" by the Victorians. The earliest written reference to a church at Appleton is in a charter of King Henry II (1154–1189). It is curiously omitted from the Domesday Book, yet it is beyond dispute that there was a church at that time. The first reference in the register to Appleton is on 20 September 1232 when Stephen de (Eglefeld?) was instituted as first rector. Inside, effigies date from the 13th and 14th centuries and some interior woodwork dates from 1636. The name Appleton-le-Street means "apple orchard on a Roman road". Easthorpe directly translates to, "east outlying farm or settlement". With east simply translating to eastern, and thorpe directly translating to a secondary settlement and a dependent outlying farm or hamlet.Occupational structure
