BISHOPTHORPE: York Parish #20 of 31

Описание: YORK PARISH #20: BISHOPTHORPE

I hope you like your history. This one’s got way more than its fair share. This is Bishopthorpe, a very historic village located three miles to the south of York city centre, close to the A64. Close to the River Ouse, a large chunk of the village is a conservation area, as has been since 1989. When you see some of the landmarks here, you kind of understand why!

Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974, Bishopthorpe is another York parish which has seen time as part of Selby, until being transferred to York in 1996. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book as “Torp” and came to be known as “Thorp-super-Usam” or “Thorpe-on-Ouse” in 1194. By 1275 the earliest written record of the name Bishopthorpe appeared, spelt "Biscupthorpe".

In 1202, the first church was built here and it was dedicated to St Andrew. This led to the village being renamed to St Andrewthorpe, but in the 13th century, it was renamed again when Archbishop Walter de Grey bought the manor house and gave it to the Dean and Chapter of York Minster. The house would become Bishopthorpe Palace, the official residence of the Archbishop of York.

In 1323, Bishopthorpe also the meeting place of a great council which agreed a truce between Edward II and Robert the Bruce, whose forces had been harrying Yorkshire following the Battle of Bannockburn. Just your average village then, right?

Let’s dive in!
