Appleton Wiske

Appleton Wiske is a small village and civil parish that sits between Northallerton and Yarm in the Vale of York, a flat tract of land that runs between the North Yorkshire Moors to the east, the Yorkshire Dales to the west and the River Tees to the north.The village, which was known as Apletona in the Domesday Book, eventually took the name of the nearby River Wiske to distinguish itself from other Appletons in the area, such as Appleton-le-Moors.It remained in the possession of the St. Mary's until the dissolution of monasteries, when it was granted by Henry VIII to Charles Brandon, who later became the Duke of Suffolk.[12][13] In the First World War, 38 acres (15 ha) of land to the north east of the village was used by two squadrons of the Royal Air Force in the Home Defence role.[17] The River Wiske passes to the immediate south of the village on its long journey to the North Sea at Spurn Head.
