Henderskelfe

[7] Leland states in Collectanea, that in 1070, a Scottish raiding party under King Malcolm, "...came to a place called Hinderskelfe and slew some English nobility."[8] At the time of the Domesday survey, the land belonged to Berengar of Tosny, who died without issue and so it passed to his sister, Adeliza, who married Roger Bigod.[14] However, Morris suggests the name stems from Hundred-Hill, as the site was the meeting place of the wapentakes of Ryedale and Bulmer.[17] Previous to this, the township of Henderskelfe was in the parish of Bulmer, and consisted of 1,500 acres (610 ha), most of which was given over to the Castle Howard estate.[21][22] Henderskelfe was historically in the wapentake of Bulmer, and part of the Malton Rural District in the North Riding of Yorkshire.
