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 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] From 1974 to 2023 it was in the Harrogate district.

Bickerton was formerly a township in the parish of Bilton, [12] in 1866 Bickerton became a separate civil parish, [13] on 1 April 1937 the parish was abolished and merged with Bilton. [14] In 1931 the parish had a population of 140. [15]
