Firby
Firby or Fritheby is an English toponym and family name, with its original location now registered in modern government as Firby, Hambleton. It is not to be confused with Firby, Westow, that has separate origins and etymology, along with Fearby, North Ferriby and South Ferriby, also different in these natures; each has had its own variants causing confusion.
== Geography ==
Firby is and long governed as a Liberty of Richmondshire. Firby Beck and Firby Beck Fields are part of greater Bedale Beck, tributary of the River Swale in the north. Centred on Firby Road, its economy is or was primarily based on farming and cow-keeping (Swaledale (sheep), Shorthorn cattle, rapeseed and other root vegetables as seen on Flickr), butchers (Whitton and Peacock families), gardeners, agricultural stonemasons (Storey family) and most distinctively, its gentry have been sportsmen in fox hunting (as painted by Joseph Appleyard). Firby residents bring their produce and meats to the marketplace in Bedale, whilst those of Bedale go hunting at Firby Lodge and also visit nearby Thorp Perrow Arboretum. Firby House was the manor house, home to the Constable of Bedale Castle, whose liege lord was Bryan FitzAlan and his baronial descendants. With Anglo-Scottish border defense duties in their lords' retinues, the Firby family eventually set down a second residence at Firby Court, Firby Road on Gallowfields Trading Estate near Richmond Castle. A certain (Hugh de Fritheby ) was once parson or rector of Richmond's parish church. Firby Croft has four houses and a common garden plot. Firby Hall is the site of a new manor house, built in the late 18th century by a veteran of the American War of Independence.
