History
[edit]Low Abbotside was historically a township in the large ancient parish of Aysgarth in the North Riding of Yorkshire.

The abbot's manor was formally known as the Manor of Wensleydale, at least from the 14th century, but was also known as Abbotside. After the dissolution the abbot's lands were sold to a succession of owners, and in 1723 were acquired by the Wortley family, who divided Abbotside into the manors of High Abbotside and Low Abbotside.[4]
