Buttercrambe
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox UK place Buttercrambe is a small village in the Buttercrambe with Bossall civil parish, in North Yorkshire, England.[1][2] Buttercrambe is some Template:Convert north-east of York, and on average about Template:Convert above sea level.[3][4] The settlement is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and the name derives from the Old English of butere and crambe. Crambe is a word meaning bend, and so Buttercrambe's literal translation is rich piece of land in the bend of the river (Derwent).[5][6][7]
The village is situated approximately Template:Convert to the north-east of York and near the border with the East Riding of Yorkshire. It, with Bossall parish, had a recorded population of about 100 in the 2001 Census,[8] and 105 in the 2011 Census.[9] The village lies on the River Derwent, and Buttercrambe Mill, a former water-powered cornmill, is still on the riverside and is now a grade II listed building.[10][11]
The village was part of the Ryedale district between 1974 and 2023. It is now administered by North Yorkshire Council.
Aldby Hall and the St John the Evangelist's Church are at the centre of the village. Aldby park was the location that the Darley family brought the celebrated racehorse Darley Arabian to in 1704.[12] The church is Template:Convert by Template:Convert, and has been tied to the parish church at Sand Hutton since 1404.[13] To the west of Buttercrambe, on high ground, are the remains of a Roman temporary camp: a square enclosure, ditched and banked, constructed quickly by an army on manoeuvres in enemy territory and used either overnight or for a short period of time, and demolished upon abandonment of the site.[14] The camp was constructed probably 20 years before the establishment of nearby Eboracum, Roman York, in 71 AD.[15]
The remains of Buttercrambe Castle lie in the village (to the east of Aldby Park). The castle fell to the Parliamentarians during a skirmish in the English Civil War.[16][17]
