Burythorpe is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England, about 4 miles (6 km) south of Malton. It was historically part of the East Riding of Yorkshire until 1974. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 289,[2] reducing marginally to 286 at the Census 2011.[1] The Whitegrounds barrow is nearby.[3]

Etymology[]

The name Burythorpe was recorded in the 1096 Domesday Book as Bergetorp[4] and is of Old Norse origin.[5] The first element is Bjorg, a feminine personal name.[5] The second is þorp, meaning "farmstead, hamlet" (c.f. Danish torp, German Dorf).[5]

Buildings[]

All Saints' Church

The Church of All Saints is a Grade II listed building. The current building was built in 1858 in the Gothic Revival style replacing a previous church on the site.[6][7]

The Bay Horse public house which closed in April 2014 was reopened in October 2016 after a local group campaigned to have it recognised as an important asset of the community.[8] The pub is listed in Baines 1823 directory along with a reference to Francis Consitt who is stated to have died in Burythorpe in 1768 at the age of 150.[9]
