Description


The village appears in the Domesday Book (1086) as 'Aimundrebi' which is derived from 'Eymund's farm'.[2]

The 2001 census recorded a population of 357 for the parish, increasing to 399 at the 2011 Census.[1] There is a Grade II listed church dedicated to St Helen.[3]

Amotherby sits on two main roads, the B1257 between Helmsley and Malton and the Kirkbymoorside to Malton road. Both roads meet at a busy junction in the village, with traffic from Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside meeting towards Malton.

The village used to have a railway station on the Thirsk and Malton line. The station closed to passengers in 1930 but stayed open to goods until 1964.[4]

The village is home to Malton Foods Ltd (formerly known as Westlers) which produces ready meals for the foodservice and retail sectors.[5] The Company has been part of Zwanenberg Food Group UK since November 2013.


Governance


An electoral ward in the same name exists. This ward stretches north to Kirby Misperton with a total population taken at the 2011 census of 2,032.[6]
