Thirkleby High and Low with Osgodby is a civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. The parish includes the villages of Great Thirkleby and Little Thirkleby and the scattered hamlet of Osgodby. The similarly named medieval settlement of Thirkleby Manor is around 30 miles north, in the parish of Kirby Grindalythe, Ryedale District.[2] The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 Census was 266.[1]

History

[edit]

The Domesday Book mentions the village of Thirkleby as "Turchilebi" in the wapentake of Yarlestre and belonging to the Coxwold manor. There were 54 villagers, and the land consisted of ploughed fields and woodland.[3] At the time of the Norman invasion, the lands belonged to Kofse, but soon afterwards they were granted to Hugh, son of Baldric.[4] Soon afterwards, the manor was in the hands of the Mowbray family, and it followed the descent of the manor of Thirsk until the 16th century. A mesne lordship was held in the parish by Robert de Buscy in the 12th century, with some land granted to Byland Abbey. The Buscy family held this land until at least 1348. Other landowners in the 12th century in the manor were the Meynell family. Some of their land seems to have been granted by marriage to the de Burton family, who also held lands in West Harlsey.[5]

The greater manor passed from the Buscy family to the Crown following their involvement in the 1322 uprisings. They were acquired by Sir Thomas Ughtred in 1361. The manor was sold to Sir Roger Fulthorpe in 1383 and remained in the family until the late 16th century, when it was seized by the Crown. It was subsequently sold to the Earl of Warwick, who sold it in turn to William Frankland. It remained in the Frankland family, though not always in the direct line of succession, until the late 19th century.[6]

The lesser manor passed from the de Burton family to Marmaduke Darell in 1363 and thereafter followed the inheritance of the manor of Sessay. The lands that make up Osgodby were those that were granted to the church.[6]

The toponymy is derived from the Danish personal name of Thorkel or Thirkel, suffixed with by to give the meaning of Thorkel's farm.[7]

Thirkleby Hall used to stand to the west of Great Thirkleby. It was built between 1780 and 1785 for Sir Thomas Frankland, 6th Baronet and was situated in around 200 acres (81 ha) of grounds. At the end of the First World War, the estate was without any heir and was auctioned off, except for the hall which did not find a buyer until 1927 when it was dismantled entirely. The grounds are now used for holiday accommodation in the form of cottages and static caravans.[8] [9]

Prisoner of war camp number 108 was built at Sandhill (on Low Road at the southern edge of Little Thirkleby) as a working camp for German prisoners during the Second World War.[10] It has been used as a pig farm for many years, but the water tower and many of the buildings have survived.

A Roman fort was discovered at Thirkleby in 2018, through the study of aerial photography. The fort is considered to date to the Flavian period on the basis of its layout.[11]
