Arkendale is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is 6 miles (10 km) north-east of Harrogate town, and a had a population of 278 according to the 2001 census, increasing to 394 at the 2011 census. It has a pub, a village hall and a church and is close to Staveley village. Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Harrogate, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. The first part of the toponym likely originates from Old English eorcnan, probably meaning "precious, noble, true", as in the name Archibald. It may perhaps be derived from arkedenu meaning 'chest valley', used topographically. The Old English denu was replaced by the Old Norse dalr, of the same meaning. St Bartholomew's Church, Arkendale was built in 1836-7 (making it Victorian, but only just) and consecrated in 1837. It is in the 'lancet style' of the Gothic revival, in white brick with limestone ashlar, in contrast to the traditional brown local brick of the village. The architect was John Freeman. The church replaced a mediaeval building on the same site, according to information displayed in the church. The vestry on the north side was added in 1888, at which time the church was refitted 'by the munificence of Samuel James Brown' of Loftuss Hill, an act commemorated by the stained glass window at the east end.
