Boltby is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It is on the edge of the North York Moors National Park at 140 m, and about six miles north-east of Thirsk. According to the 2011 census, it had a population of 143.〔http://www.hambleton.gov.uk/images/files/Census_Data/boltby-parish-2011-census-profile.pdf〕 ==History== Boltby is mentioned in the ''Domesday Book'' as ''Boltebi'' in the ''Yalestre'' hundred. After the Norman invasion, the land was owned by ''Hugh, son of Baldric''. He granted Lordship of the local manor to ''Gerald of Boltby''. Previously the Lord of the manor was ''Sumarlithi, son of Karli''. Although now without a pub, it had four during the building of a reservoir and water supply to Thirsk. The last of these, ''The Johnstone Arms'', is now a farm and riding stables. Fewer than five new houses have been built in the village in the 20th century, giving a total of 43 in 2005. One oddity of the village is a deed giving free water 'in perpetuity' to the buildings in the area. This dates from the late 19th century when the new reservoir was built and water piped through the land of Ravensthorp manor. The eastern part of the village was badly affected by the flooding in 2005 when the Gurtof Beck overflowed and damaged or destroyed several buildings. The local reports were of water levels between 2-3m deep. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boltby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
