North Deighton

Details are included in the civil parish of Little Ribston, however, North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population in 2014 as having dropped to 80.[2] It is near the A1(M) motorway and the A168 road and is 1.9 miles (3 km) north-west of Wetherby.[4] Along with neighbouring Kirk Deighton, the village is mentioned in the Domesday Book[5] and its name derives from a mixture of Old English and Old Norse—Kirkja dīc tūn which means a church, a defensive trench or ditch and a farmstead or village.[6] To the east of the village is Howe Hill, which is a former Motte-and-bailey castle from around the time of the Norman Conquest.[7] It is also thought to be one of the burial sites of dead soldiers from the Battle of Marston Moor.
