Great Ouseburn

Great Ouseburn is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England.[4] Great Ouseburn was originally part of the district of Knaresborough, which was a royal forest in William the Conqueror’s time, giving Great Ouseburn the status of a "Forest Liberty Town"; it had the liberty to punish those people who misbehaved within its boundaries; in the Domesday survey the village is referred to as "Useburne".[5] The estate, now known as Kirby Hall, was a major influence on the village and was owned by William de Kirkeby in 1200.[6] In 1854 Great Ouseburn Community Primary School was established with the laying of the foundation stone by Sir Henry Mesey-Thompson of Kirby Hall and the then Bishop of Ripon.It was returning after a short stop at RAF East Fortune near Edinburgh when it developed engine trouble.[1]Great Ouseburn's economy was mainly agricultural, but the village was also home to around thirty retail and manufacturing establishments in 1840.The former brickyard, steam corn mill, tan yard and malt kilns of the 19th century have all closed down because of the introduction of the car, and advances in the mechanisation of agricultural practices.
