Hallikeld
Hallikeld was a Wapentake (Hundred), which is an administrative division (or ancient district), in the historic county of the North Riding of Yorkshire. It was one of the smaller wapentakes by area and consisted of seven parishes. History The name Hallikeld derives from the Old English ''Halig'', and the Old Norse ''Kelda''. Keld appears in various places in Northern England and means ''Spring'', with the ''Halli'' prefix meaning holy. This is thought to be taken from some fresh water springs in the Melmerby area, which were located within the wapentake. Fields to the south of Melmerby are labelled as ''Hallikelds'' on Ordnance Survey mapping from 1909. As the wapentakes were ancient divisions, the spelling of them has evolved and changed over time. Latterly it was spelt as ''Hallikeld'', but has been historically recorded as ''Hallikell'' and ''Halikeld.'' Another possible derivation of the name is from a holy spring in the churchyard of St Lamberts in Burneston, though the s ...

History Hang East and Hang West were originally one wapentake (Hang), and formed part of the Honour of Richmond from the 11th century.

North Riding Of Yorkshire
The North Riding of Yorkshire is a subdivision of Yorkshire, England, alongside York, the East Riding and West Riding. The riding's highest point is at Mickle Fell with 2,585 ft (788 metres). From the Restoration it was used as a lieutenancy area, having been previously part of the Yorkshire lieutenancy. Each riding was treated as a county for many purposes, such as quarter sessions. An administrative county, based on the riding, was created with a county council in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888. In 1974 both the administrative county and the North Riding of Yorkshire lieutenancy were abolished, replaced in most of the riding by the non-metropolitan county and lieutenancy of North Yorkshire.
