History

Bewerley is mentioned in the Domesday Book (as Burelei). Before the Norman Conquest it was part of the estates of Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria. [3] After the conquest the estates passed to the Mowbray family and in 1175 Roger de Mowbray sold the Bewerley estate to Fountains Abbey, which established a grange at Bewerley. [4] After the Dissolution the ownership of Bewerley was fragmented. In 1674 the manor of Bewerley, together with some land, was acquired by the Yorke family, which held it until 1924. [5]

By the 19th century Bewerley was a township in the large parish of Ripon. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. [6]

Buildings

Bewerley Hall was built in the 16th or 17th century. In 1774 it was acquired by the Yorke family, who built a new hall in 1815. The new hall was demolished in 1925, but Bewerley Old Hall survives. [7]

Bewerley Park Centre for Outdoor Education is run by the North Yorkshire County Council. [8]

Bewerley Grange Chapel was built by Marmaduke Huby, abbot of Fountains Abbey from 1495 to 1526. [9] After the Dissolution the chapel was used as a dwelling house, and from 1678 to 1831 as a school. In 1965 it was restored and returned to use as a chapel. [10]
