Thormanby is a village and civil parish in Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the A19 approximately half-way between Easingwold and Thirsk and about south east of the county town of Northallerton. ==History== Thormanby is derived from the Old Norse personal name of ''Thormothr'' / ''Þórmóðr'' (''Tormod'' in modern Norwegian) and the suffix ''bi'' meaning "Thormothr's farm". The name ''Thormothr'' means "Thor's gift" (i.e. "mind" and "courage"). The village is mentioned twice in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086 as "Tormozbi" in the Yarlestre Hundred. Before the Norman Conquest most of the land in the parish belonged to the manor of Earl Morcar, with a small areas owned by Arkil and Gamel. Following ''Domesday'' the manor passed to the Crown and, along with the smaller areas of land, was granted to Robert Malet.〔 It eventually passed into the Nevill family, lords of the manors of Sheriff Hutton and Raskelf, who held it until the 15th century. It passed through several other families during the next 250 years until it came down to the Dawnay family in 1721. From that date it followed the descent of the manor of Sessay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish History )〕 Most of the land in the village was owned by the Viscounts Downe of Wykeham, but much of this was sold in 1918 with the disposing of the Sessay Estate. William Page in his ''A History of the County of York North Riding'' states: "According to tradition there was once a castle here. It is also said that in the rebellion of the Earl of Northumberland in 1569, the royal forces encamped on Thormanby Carr on their way to Maiden Bower near Topcliffe."〔 In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' described Thormanby as:
There were three inns throughout the 17th century and 18th century, but only the Black Bull Inn public house remained until recent years. In 1999 the landlord of the Black Bull, Robert Medd, intended to close the pub, saying "the pub is sometimes more like a morgue," and "sells just 16 pints a day." Residents opposed his application to convert the pub through a belief that the village needed a "focal point". 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「Thormanby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
