ESCRICK: Selby Parish #65 of 74

SELBY PARISH #65: ESCRICK
Escrick lies right on the boundary between Selby and York. In fact, where today’s main walk begins is pretty much on the boundary. It’s roughly equidistant between the two major towns
You might recall me mentioning the Escrick moraine in an East Riding episode or two before. That’s to do with the last ice age. Escrick sits at what was the southernmost limit of glaciation in that era
When the ice retreated, a deposit known as a "terminal moraine" was left behind, in the form of a ridge, and it’s this ridge which gives the village its name, as "Escrick" may mean "ash ridge"
Escrick is noted for an Anglo-Saxon gold ring. Called the Escrick Ring it was discovered in a field via a metal detector in 2009 and was acquired by the Yorkshire Museum for £35,000
An estate village, Escrick Hall was built between 1680 and 1700. Associated with the estate are the names Lawley, Thompson and Wenlock. Confusingly, they’re all the same family!
The layout of Escrick has changed considerably over the years. It’s whole position has migrated North, the former site of the village becoming the grounds of Escrick Hall
Its main street once passed the hall, but now stops at the gates. Two bypasses were created to compensate - one would become Skipwith Road whilst the other would become the modern A19
This is the village which migrated North. Let’s see how the land lies today!
