Ampleforth
[5] The name ‘Ampleforth’ derives from a combination of the Old English words ampre (sorrel) and ford meaning ‘(place by) ford where sorrel grew.’[6] Until immediately after the Second World War Ampleforth mainly consisted of houses built along the main road which serves as the principal thoroughfare.Here there are several buildings dating back to the 19th century including the village's shop and the adjoining Coram Cottage, constructed in 1856.Along East Lane small farms are gradually being developed into large homes so that the rural and residential split becomes less marked.[15][16] The village used to have a railway station on the Thirsk and Malton Line that was 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Ampleforth.[17] Services ran between York and Pickering from the 1930s onwards and the station closed in 1950, some years before the rest of the line did to passengers.
