Danby Wiske is a village in the district of Hambleton in North Yorkshire, England. It is the main settlement in the civil parish of Danby Wiske with Lazenby. The village lies north north-west of the county town of Northallerton. ==History== Danby Wiske was mentioned in the Domesday Book as ''Danebi''. The lands were the property of ''Kofse'' at the time of the Norman conquest. After 1086 the manor was granted to ''Landric of Hornby''. There were three households, five ploughlands and six acres of meadow. During the late 13th century and early 14th century, the manor was the subject of dispute. Originally it had passed to the lords of Richmond, who had granted hereditary lordship to ''Geoffrey le Scrope''. When his son Henry inherited the manor the Crown took the title for a short time until it was returned to Henry. However the Crown retook possession upon learning the conditions of inheritance and granted it back to the lords of Richmond in 1342. The manor was leased to Robert Dawe and Edward Thurland in 1602, but in 1616 King James I granted the manor of Danby Wiske to George Calvert, Lord Baltimore, founder of the state of Maryland in the United States. The Calverts sold the manor in 1701 after which it changed hands a couple of times until in 1718 it was bought by Sir Hugh Smithson. It was sold to Jonathon Wharton in 1765. By 1857, the manor was in the possession of the Venerable Archdeacon Cust〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 Danby Wiske is around ¼ mile from the East Coast Main Line; there was once a railway station here, but this has long since closed. The ancient parish of Danby Wiske included Yafforth as well as Streetlam, but not Lazenby.〔 Yafforth became a separate civil parish in 1866. The etymology of the name derives from the Old Norse words ''Danir'' and ''by'' meaning ''the farm of the Danes''. The suffix of Wiske refers to the nearby river. Lazenby had a separate history until modern times. It was historically an extra parochial area. It became a separate civil parish in 1858,〔(Vision of Britain website )〕 and was joined to the ecclesiastical parish of Northallerton in 1867. 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「Danby Wiske」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
