History
In 1086 the village was recorded as Aculestorp in the Domesday Book.[1]
In 1870–72 John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Agglethorpe as:
"A joint township with Coverham, in Coverham parish, W. R. Yorkshire".[2]
Agglethorpe Hall (a Grade II listed building) was built in the 17th century.[3]
