Fimber

Fimber is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 8 miles (13 km) north-west of Driffield town centre and 3 miles (5 km) south-west of the village of Sledmere. It lies on the B1248 road. The civil parish is formed by the village of Fimber and the hamlet of Towthorpe. According to the 2001 UK Census, Fimber parish had a population of 91. The name Fimber probably derives from the Old English fīnmere meaning 'woodpile lake'. Alternatively, the first element could be derived from finn meaning 'coarse grass'. The church of St Mary, Fimber was built in 1869–71 in a thirteenth-century style to replace a chapel of ease. The church was designated a Grade II listed building in September 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. It is on the Sykes Churches Trail devised by the East Yorkshire Churches Group. Fimber was served by Sledmere and Fimber railway station on the Malton and Driffield Railway between 1853 and 1950. In 1823 the village was in the parish of Wetwang, the Wapentake of Buckrose, and the Liberty of St Peter. At the time there was a chapel of ease at which the rector of Wetwang was its incumbent curate. Population was 904, which included seven farmers, a grocer, a shoemaker, and a tailor.

Burdale, North Yorkshire

Burdale is a hamlet in North Yorkshire, England, 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Malton. It lies in a deep valley (or dale), also known as Burdale, in the Yorkshire Wolds. It is the site of a deserted medieval village. Burdale was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, when there were 43 villagers, a mill and two churches. In the 14th century Burdale appears to have been of a reasonable size, significantly larger than its more famous neighbour, Wharram Percy. By the 17th century the village was much reduced. Between 1853 and 1950 Burdale had its own railway station, on the Malton and Driffield Junction Railway. Between 1925 and 1955 a large chalk quarry operated at Burdale, and supplied much of the traffic for the railway. Burdale was part of the ancient parish of Wharram Percy in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It formed part of the township of Raisthorpe and Burdale, which became a civil parish in 1866. In 1872 the township became part of the new ecclesiastical parish of Thixendale when it was formed from the ecclesiastical parish of Wharram Percy. In 1935 the civil parish of Raisthorpe and Burdale was abolished and merged into the new parish of Wharram. In 1974 Burdale was transferred from the East Riding of Yorkshire to the new county of North Yorkshire as part of the Ryedale district. Ryedale was abolished in 2023 and the hamlet is now part of the area administered by North Yorkshire Council.

Thixendale

Thixendale is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is located in the Yorkshire Wolds about 20 miles east of York. In 2016, the North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population of the parish to be 200. The place name Thixendale is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Sixtendale and Xistendale. The name means 'Sigstein's Dale or Valley'. The name Sigstein is also the source for the name of Sysonby in Leicestershire. Thixendale was historically a township in the ancient parish of Wharram Percy in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It became a separate civil parish in 1866, and in 1872 was separated to form a new ecclesiastical parish with Raisthorpe and Burdale. In 1974 The civil parish was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Ryedale. It is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. The only pub, the Cross Keys, is a regular winner of local CAMRA awards. The Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail passes through the village. Two other long distance footpaths, the Centenary Way and the Chalkland Way, also pass through the village. The church of St Mary, Thixendale is one of a group of village buildings according to designs by George Edmund Street in 1868–1870. It was designated in 1966 by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building. It is on the Sykes Churches Trail devised by the East Yorkshire Historic Churches Group. For many years until the late 1990s, television signals were blocked by the surrounding hills until a small transmitter was built, providing the village with terrestrial television for the first time. The transmitter ceased operation in the early 2000s, with villagers now relying on satellite TV and, since 2017, fast broadband.
