History


Bickerton is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Gospatric and having four villagers.[2] The name of the village derives from the Old English of bīcere and tūn; the town of the bee-keepers.[3][4] Historically, the village was in the wapentake of Ainsty, in what was the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is now in the Borough of Harrogate of North Yorkshire, some 9 miles (14 km) west of York, and 3.75 miles (6.04 km) north-east of Wetherby.[5][6] The road to the immediate south of the village was part of the Bickerton and Rufforth Turnpike trust, and in the 1820s, Bickerton was a stop on the coaching route between Leeds and York.[7][8][9] The modern day designation of the road is the B1224, which runs between York and Wetherby.[10][11]
