Ainderby Steeple
Ainderby Steeple is situated on the A684 approximately 2.6 miles (4.2 km) south-west of the county town of Northallerton, and to the immediate east of Morton-on-Swale.Some of the lands were part of the manor of Northallerton at the time of the Norman Conquest which was held by Edwin, Earl of Mercia.The Funeaux family are recorded as lords of the manor until the early 14th century, when Geoffrey le Scrope bought the lands.The manor continued to be owned by his descendants, albeit with a couple of incidents when the Crown took possession, until 1517 when the eleventh Lord Scrope had no male heir.The eastern boundary is formed by the River Wiske just one mile away and extends from just north of Barstow Hall farm to the outskirts of Warlaby.[1] Ainderby Steeple CE Primary is in the catchment area of Northallerton School, which provides secondary education and sixth form facilities.
