Slingsby, North Yorkshire
Slingsby is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, 6 miles (10 km) west of Malton on the B1257 road. At the 2001 Census, it had a population of 634, increasing to 665 at the 2011 Census.
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as "Selungesbi" in the "Maneshou hundred". It was part of the Hovingham manor, but some land was owned by Orm, son of Gamul at the time of the Norman invasion. Afterwards land around the manor were split between Hugh, son of Baldric and Count Robert of Mortain. The manor passed to the Mowbray family until 1322, when John de Mowbray was beheaded for rising against the Crown. The Wyville family held land under the Mowbrays. The Hastings family held the manor until 1595 when it was purchased by Sir Charles Cavendish (d. 1617). He planned to build a new mansion, employing the architect Robert Smythson, but this building was not started. His son, also called Sir Charles Cavendish, built a house in the 1620s.
The Cavendish family held Slingsby for the next hundred years until they sold up to the Duke of Buckingham. In 1751 the manor was sold to the fourth Earl of Carlisle, whose family hold the title to this day. The Mowbrays built a castle in the village, but this had fallen into disrepair by the time the Hastings built another in 1345. This was removed by the Cavendishes and rebuilt where the remains can still be seen today just off the High Street. They are a Grade II Listed Building.
The village used to have a railway station on the Thirsk & Malton Line. The station opened in June 1853 and closed to passengers in 1931 and freight in 1964.
The village lies within the Thirsk and Malton parliamentary constituency. It is within the Amotherby and Ampleforth electoral division of North Yorkshire Council.
From 1974 to 2023 the village was part of Ryedale district.
Slingsby Parish covers the hamlets of Fryton and South Holme. The Parish Council reflects this in its membership with five councillors representing Slingsby and one each representing the other two hamlets.
The village lies west of Malton on the B1257 road to Hovingham, Helmsley and the North York Moors. The stretch of road from Malton to Hovingham, part of an old Roman road, is known locally as the Street with some of the neighbouring villages to the east having Street suffixed, such as Barton-le-Street and Appleton-le-Street.
