History
Heslington appears in the Domesday Book.
Heslington Hall was built between 1565 and 1568 for Sir Thomas Eynns. In the 20th century it was owned by Richard de Yarburgh-Bateson, 6th Baron Deramore, and was used as the headquarters for the Royal Air Force's No. 4 (Bomber) Group from 1940–45. It is now the administrative headquarters for the University of York.
Heslington hoard
The hoard of 2,800 Roman coins, known as the Heslington Hoard, was found on 1 March 1966 during excavations in advance of the construction of 'College 3' on the west campus of the University of York.[1][2] [3]
Parish church
The parish church, St Paul's, is now a local ecumenical partnership between the Church of England and the Methodist Church, in which capacity it is normally just called 'Heslington Church'. The church is a Grade II listed building.[4]
