It forms part of the civil parish of Everingham.
In 1823 Harswell was a village and civil parish in the Wapentake of Harthill. Population at the time was 78, with occupations that included five farmers, and a carrier who operated between the village and Market Weighton once a week.[1]
The village church is dedicated to St Peter. There has been a church in Harswell from the late 12th century and the building that was present in 1823 was described by Baines as "a small ancient structure". It was rebuilt in 1870-1871 and parish records, dating back to 1653, are held by the Borthwick Institute in York.[1][2]
Harswell was served by Everingham railway station on the Selby to Driffield Line between 1853 and 1954.[3] The station house is now a Grade II listed building.[4]
