History
Ebberston used to be in the Wapentake of Pickering Lythe. A cairn north-east from the village is dedicated to Alfrid, King of Northumberland, who supposedly sought sanctuary in a cave here before being removed to Little Driffield where he died.[2]
Between 1882 and 1950 the village was served by Ebberston railway station at Allerston, and on the Forge Valley Line between Scarborough and Pickering.[3]
On 1 April 1986 the parish was abolished and merged with Yedingham to form "Ebberston and Yedingham".[4]
Between 1974 and 2023 the village was part of the Ryedale district. It is now administered by North Yorkshire Council.
On 18 August 2009 a 500 lb unexploded bomb was destroyed in a controlled explosion next to the village which necessitated the evacuation of hundreds of local residents from Ebberston and Allerston.[5] The bomb hailed from a 'Whitley Mark V Bomber', of the No. 102 Squadron RAF, based at RAF Linton-on-Ouse which crash landed on 27 October 1940, with all personnel having bailed out and survived.[6]
