History
[edit | edit source]Hanlith dates back as a manor to the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was spelt Hangelif. The name is of Old Norse origin, from the personal name Hagne and hlíð, meaning "slope", so means "Hagne's slope". The reference is to the steep hillside east of the River Aire.[3]
Hanlith Hall belonged to the Dehelington and Medcalfe families until about 1347, and then became tenanted to the Serjeantson family who remained there for 550 years. The Hall was remodelled in the 20th century.[4]
Hanlith was historically a township in the ancient parish of Kirkby Malham in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[5] It became a civil parish in 1866,[6] and in 1974 was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Craven, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
