Fangfoss

Fangfoss is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 11 miles (18 km) to the east of the city of York and 3.5 miles (6 km) north-west of the town of Pocklington. The parish includes Bolton. The civil parish is called "Fangfoss" and its parish council is called "Fangfoss with Bolton Parish Council" after Bolton parish was abolished on 1 April 1935 and merged with Fangfoss. The parish covers an area of 900.98 hectares (2,226.4 acres). In 2011 it had a population of 581, a decrease on the 2001 UK census figure of 602. In 1823 Fangfoss was listed as the parish of 'Fangfoss-with-Spittle'. The village was in the Wapentake of Harthill. Population was 154, with occupations including twelve farmers, a shopkeeper, a shoemaker, and a schoolmaster. The landlord of The Carpenter's public house was also a village carpenter. The village chapel was in the charge of the vicar of Barnby-upon-the-Moor, and under the patronage of the Dean of York. The name Fangfoss probably derives from the Old Norse fang meaning 'fishing' and the Old English foss meaning 'ditch'. Alternatively, the first element could perhaps be the Old English personal name Fangulf.
