Pockley is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is about 1 mile north-east of Helmsley turning north from the A170 road. Its short, winding lane passes six thatched cottages in a quarter mile before turning back toward the A170 and its junction at Beadlam and Nawton.
From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Ryedale. It is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
The Grade II-listed St John the Baptist's Church was built in 1870 and designed by Sir Gilbert Scott or his son.[2]
The name Pockley probably derives from the Old English Pocalēah, meaning 'Poca's wood or clearing'.[3]
