Grantley Hall, on the north bank of the river, is an 18th century Grade II * listed building, built by Thomas Norton and his son Fletcher Norton, 1st Baron Grantley. The toponym, first mentioned in about 1030, is Old English, and means "clearing of a man called Grante". Grantley was historically a township in the parish of Ripon in the West Riding of Yorkshire.〔(GENUKI website )〕 It became a separate civil parish in 1866, and was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire in 1974. The parish now shares a grouped parish council with Sawley.〔(Harrogate Borough Council: Details for Grantley and Sawley Parish Council )〕 == References == 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「Grantley, North Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
