History
Healaugh Park Priory was established near the village at the site now called Healaugh Manor Farm.[3] It was founded in 1218 by Jordan de Santa Maria and his wife, Alice, who was the granddaughter of Bertram Haget. Haget had previously granted the lands outside the village for a hermitage to Gilbert, a monk of Marmoutier.[4] It was finally dissolved in 1535. After the dissolution, it served as the Manor house, amongst whose owners were Sir Arthur D'Arcy and Thomas Wharton, 1st Baron Wharton.[5]

The parish covers an area of 3,378 acres of which the village occupies 2,666 acres. It lies 2¼ miles west of Askham Richard, 1⅔ miles east of Wighill and 1¼ miles north of Catterton. A short distance to the east of the village is Dam Dyke which flows via Catterton Beck and The Foss into the River Wharfe near Bolton Percy.
