Thrintoft is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated close to the River Swale, 3miles west of Northallerton.[1]
Thrintoft is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being in the possession of Picot of Lascelles.[2] One of his descendants, Roger de Lascelles, gifted the village to St Mary's Abbey in York around 1146.[3] The name derives from Old Norse and is registered in the Domesday Book as Tirnetofte. It is believed to mean the thorn-bush by (or in) the field.[4] Historically in the parish of Ainderby Steeple, which lies 1miles to the south,[5] it became its own parish in 1866[6] and now contains the hamlet of Little Langton. Whilst the parish has a population of 185, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the population of the village was 140 at the 2011 census and remained at that number in 2015.[7]
The village is recorded as having a corn mill in 1539, which led to the stream flowing south west through the settlement into the River Swale being named Mill Beck.[8] The chapel of St Mary Magdalen, now a barn, was built during the 13th to 15th centuries. It was endowed in 1253 as a chantry chapel connected to Jervaulx Abbey and is a grade II* listed building. The chapel is the only surviving building from Thrintoft Grange.
The village has a pub, The New Inn.[1]
