Ellerton-on-Swale

Ellerton-on-Swale or Ellerton (historically known as Ellerton-upon-Swale)[2] is a small village and civil parish about a mile east of Catterick in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England.[3] In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population of the parish at 110.[1][4] The village sits just south of the B6271 road between Richmond and Northallerton,[5] and has a large lake used for diving between the settlement and the River Swale to the south.[7] It is said that it is the birthplace of Henry Jenkins, who died in 1670 and is reported to have lived to an incredible age of 169 years.[8] In 1743, a memorial obelisk was placed over his grave in the nearby churchyard of Bolton-on-Swale.
