Barkston Ash is a small village and civil parish close to Selby in North Yorkshire, England. It was formerly known as Barkston in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[1][2]
History
The village dates back to at least 1090, when it was spelled Barcestone.[2] It was part of the Selby District from 1974 until 2023, the village previously gave its name to the former wapentake of Barkston Ash.[3] The Ash part of the name comes from a large ash tree said to be at the approximate centre of the ancient county of Yorkshire, where meetings for the wapentake would be held.[1][4]
What is now the A162 London Road was a turnpike constructed in 1769: the Main Street and the major part of the village goes East from the junction with this.[4]
Barkston Ash was also the name of the local parliamentary constituency of Barkston Ash until 1983, when its boundaries were redrawn to divide the area into Elmet and Selby.[2]
Features
The village contains a small Church of England church, Holy Trinity, originally a chapel of ease constructed in 1880, but given its current name and status in 1974.[4] There are two pubs, the Ash Tree (on the site of a former coaching inn) and the Boot and Shoe, a village hall and a primary school (dating from 1856).[5] There were formerly two shops and a post office on Main Street, now private residences.[2]
There are three 17th to 19th century stone Grade II listed building houses near the junction of Main Street and Church Street: Laurel Farm,[6] Barkston House,[7] and Turpin Hall Farm.[8]
