Raskelf is a big village and civil parish in the district of North Yorkshire, England. The electoral roll has a population of around 400 measured at 519 in the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 == History == The village appears in the Domesday Book as Rascill and its derivation is believed to be Ra (Roe Deer) and Skelf (Shelf). This implies that at the time, Roe Deer were present on the shelf of land where Raskelf now stands. The village was originally in the Wapentake of Bulmer and is now in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire. The village itself is split into two, 'The Green' and the main village which are about 400 yards apart. It is situated just off the A19, 2.5 miles (4km) north west of Easingwold, 15 miles (24 km) north of York and 9 miles (15 km) south of Thirsk. It can be reached by either travelling from Easingwold, turning left at the roundabout at the top of Long Street, along Raskelf Road, or directly from the A19 (just after the Easingwold bypass travelling north), or from Helperby which connects Raskelf to the Boroughbridge/Harrogate areas of North Yorkshire. St Mary's, a 12th century church is notable for being the only church in Yorkshire to have a wooden tower.〔 The church is in the Parish of Easingwold with Raskelf in the Diocese of York. In 1623, Ralph Reynard and Mark Dun, were accused and convicted of the murder of a yeoman by the name of Fletcher. Along with Fletcher's wife, they were executed.〔 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「Raskelf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
