WEAVERTHORPE PARISH

Introduction

Weaverthorpe is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. It is 13 miles (21 km) south-west of Scarborough. The village sits in the Great Wold Valley and the waters of the winterbourne stream the Gypsey Race flow alongside the main street in the village. The waters of the Gypsey Race have carved a small valley out of the surrounding chalk. This has left small plateaus like the one that the Church of St Andrew is perched on as it overlooks the village. The village is served by unclassified roads and lies 3.1 miles (5 km) south of the A64 road at Sherburn. There was a railway station on the York to Scarborough Line at Sherburn which was called Weaverthorpe. It had been renamed from Sherburn to Wykeham and then renamed again to Weaverthorpe. This was to avoid confusion over place names (as there was a Wykeham station on the Forge Valley Line between Pickering and Seamer).
