Appleton Wiske

Appleton Wiske est un petit village se situant entre le Northallerton et Yarm dans la vallée d'York ; une région de plaine qui s'étend du nord-est du Yorkshire, aux vallées de Yorkshire à l'ouest aux vallées à l'ouest jusqu'au fleuve Tees au nord. Le village, prend parfois le nom de la proche rivière Wiske de façon à le distinguer des autres villages dont le nom commence par Appleton dans ses environs (comme Appleton-le-Moors). La rivière ne passe pas à travers le village lui-même mais passe quelque 800 mètres plus au sud durant son voyage vers le méandre d'un fleuve plus imposant, le Swale.

Appleton Wiske

Appleton Wiske is a small village and civil parish that sits between Northallerton and Yarm in the Vale of York, a flat tract of land that runs between the North Yorkshire Moors to the east, the Yorkshire Dales to the west and the River Tees to the north. The village, which was known as Apletona in the Domesday Book, eventually took the name of the nearby River Wiske to distinguish itself from other Appletons in the area, such as Appleton-le-Moors.

St Mary's Church, Appleton Wiske

St Mary's Church is the parish church of Appleton Wiske, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The oldest surviving part of the church is the chancel arch, which was constructed in the 12th century, its size suggesting that it was part of an important building. Parts of the walls may also date from the 12th century, but they have been heavily altered. There are buttresses which probably date from the 14th century, while the chancel is probably 16th century. The north door was walled up in 1760, and in 1802 the roof was replaced, and a gallery and new pews were installed. In 1875, the building was heavily restored by Walker Stead, with the work of 1802 removed, new windows added, and the ground level outside lowered. A vestry was added in the 20th century, and the building was Grade II listed in 1970. The building is constructed of stone from Osmotherley, and has a mixture of stone slates and Welsh slate on its roof. It consists of a two-bay nave with south porch, and a lower chancel with north vestry. Most of the windows are 19th century, but the chancel retains one twin lancet window from the 16th century.

The station opened in 1852 and closed to passengers in 1954. The line is still open and is served by Trans-Pennine expresses between Middlesbrough and Manchester Airport via York and Leeds.
