Killerby is a civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, 2miles south east of the village of Catterick. It consists of a few scattered houses and farms, with an estimated population in 2013 of only 10.[1] There is no modern village in the parish.
Killerby was mentioned in the Domesday Book (as Chilvordebi), when it was a berewick to Catterick. In 1291 Bryan FitzAlan, lord of Bedale, was granted a licence to crenellate his house at Killerby.[2] The foundations of the castle can still be traced. A hunting lodge was later built nearby, and its stable block built in 1788 survives. Killerby Hall, an impressive country house was built in 1906 on the site.[3]
Killerby was a township in the ancient parish of Catterick in the North Riding of Yorkshire, and became a separate civil parish in 1866.[4] In 1974 Killerby was transferred to Hambleton district in the new county of North Yorkshire.
