High Ellington is a village in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England, about 5 miles south-west of Bedale. Opposite lies the smaller village of Low Ellington. High Ellington is the largest settlement in the civil parish of Ellington High and Low, which also includes Low Ellington and the scattered settlement of Sutton (which includes High Sutton, Low Sutton, Sutton Penn and Sutton Grange[1]).
High Ellington was historically, with Low Ellington, a township in the ancient parish of Masham in the North Riding of Yorkshire.[2] At the time of the Domesday Book it was in the possession of Count Alan of Brittany.[3] It became a civil parish in 1866, then known as Ellingtons. In 1886 Sutton was transferred to the parish from Healey with Sutton.[4]
