Burdale, North Yorkshire
Burdale is a hamlet in North Yorkshire, England, south-east of Malton. It lies in a deep valley (or dale), also known as Burdale, in the Yorkshire Wolds. It is the site of a deserted medieval village. Burdale was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, when there were 43 villagers, a mill and two churches. In the 14th century Burdale appears to have been of a reasonable size, significantly larger than its more famous neighbour, Wharram Percy. By the 17th century the village was much reduced. Between 1853 and 1950 Burdale had its own railway station, on the Malton and Driffield Junction Railway. Between 1925 and 1955 a large chalk quarry operated at Burdale, and supplied much of the traffic for the railway. Burdale was part of the ancient parish of Wharram Percy in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It formed part of the township of Raisthorpe and Burdale, which became a civil parish in 1866. In 1872 the township became part of the new ecclesiastical parish of Thixendale when ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ecclesiastical Parish
A parish is a territorial entity in many Christian denominations, constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a priest, often termed a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or more curates, and who operates from a parish church. Historically, a parish often covered the same geographical area as a manor. Its association with the parish church remains paramount. By extension the term ''parish'' refers not only to the territorial entity but to the people of its community or congregation as well as to church property within it. In England this church property was technically in ownership of the parish priest ''ex-officio'', vested in him on his institution to that parish. Etymology and use First attested in English in the late, 13th century, the word ''parish'' comes from the Old French ''paroisse'', in turn from la, paroecia, the latinisation of the grc, παροικία, paroikia, "sojourning in a foreign ...
