Battersby

It lies on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire, 5 miles (8 km) east of Stokesley, and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south-west of Kildale.[1][2] The settlement is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being part of the hundred of Langbaurgh, and having one ploughland.[4][5] In the Late Middle Ages a watermill was employed on the local beck (Otter Hills Beck, and affluent of the River Leven) to grind corn.[6] Until 1974, the hamlet was in the North Riding of Yorkshire, part of the Stokesley Rural District, being transferred to the Hambleton District of the newer county of North Yorkshire.[7] In 2023 the districts were abolished to be replaced by the North Yorkshire Unitary authority.
