History

Aldfield was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. [7]

Sulphurous mineral springs were discovered near Aldfield in around 1698 leading to the establishment of Aldfield Spa. Lord de Grey, on whose land the spring was, adapted an adjacent cottage so that the water could be used there for the treatment of various ailments. It closed in the 1930s but the ruined buildings are still visible. [8] [9] [10]

Aldfield was the birthplace of the artist William Powell Frith in 1819. [11]

Historically, the village lay in the Claro Wapentake of the West Riding of Yorkshire. It was transferred to North Yorkshire in 1974.
