Yearsley

Yearsley is a small village and civil parish in the former district of Hambleton in North Yorkshire, England.The entire parish of Yearsley is within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.The heirs of Thomas Colville (also all called Thomas) owned the lands of Yearsley until 1398 when the next heir, William Colville, took the step of calling himself by the name of his English, rather than erstwhile Norman lands, and became William Yearsley.[2] Yearsley was also the site of the pottery of William Wedgewood, a relation of the famous Staffordshire Wedgwood family of potters.The Pond Head reservoir between Yearsley and Oulston is fed from the nearby source of the River Foss.
