East Tanfield is a civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. There is no modern village in the parish, and the population was estimated at 30 in 2013. [1] The deserted medieval village of East Tanfield lies near Manor Farm on the banks of the River Ure. [2]

East Tanfield was mentioned in the Domesday Book, when it was in the possession of Count Alan of Brittany. [3] It was a prosperous community in the medieval period, but appears to have been deserted in the 16th century. [2]

East Tanfield was historically a township in the ancient parish of Kirklington in the North Riding of Yorkshire. [3] It became a separate civil parish in 1866. [4] It was transferred to the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire in 1974. Richmondshire was abolished in 2023 and a new unitary authority, North Yorkshire Council, replaced it.

The parish shares a grouped parish council, Tanfield Parish Council, with the much larger parish of West Tanfield. [5]
