Background

History

The name Wombleton derives from the Old English Wynbaldtūn or Winebaldtūn, meaning 'Wynbald/Winebald's settlement'. Wombleton is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, and was then held by the Archbishop of York. As late as 1831 Wombleton was still in the liberty of St Peter's, York. Wombleton was a township in the ancient parish of Kirkdale. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Ryedale. It is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
