Heritage
Muscoates is first mentioned in a 12th-century document. The name derives either from the Old English mūsa cotes, meaning "mouse-ridden cottages", or from an Old Norse personal name Músi.[1] Muscoates was a township in the ancient parish of Kirkdale,[2] and became a separate civil parish in 1866.[3]
Muscoates was a small parish with an area of 1,045 acres (423 ha) and a population of 23 in 1961.[4] In 1974 it became part of the new district of Ryedale, and on 1 April 1986 the parish was abolished and merged with Nunnington.[5]
Singular writer
Sir Herbert Read, the poet and art critic, was born at Muscoates in 1893, the son of a farmer. His fantasy novel The Green Child (1935) was described by the critic Geoffrey Wheatcroft in 1993 as "singular, odd, completely original".[6]
