History
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Cheluitun in the Yarlestre hundred. The entry refers to the area around North Kilvington that was owned by Earl Edwin at the time of the Norman invasion and then granted to the Crown.[2] During the 13th century, the lands became the demesne of Roger de Mowbray and around 1637, after many lands had been divided, the lord of the manor was Sir Arthur Ingram.[3]
Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland was supposedly killed here in 1489 by a mob of protesters against taxation.[4]
In the 19th century, South Kilvington was widely known for its village idiots who became a popular spectacle for visitors.[5]
Governance
The village lies within the Thirsk and Malton UK Parliament constituency. It also lies within the Thirsk electoral division of North Yorkshire County Council and the Whitestonecliffe ward of Hambleton District Council.[6]
