History

Richmond railway station is located within the parish, which is separated from Richmond by the River Swale. The position of the station was because it was considered "geographically impossible" to locate the station within the town. [2] Of the ten listed buildings in the parish, seven are associated with the railway terminus, [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] one is the bridge at the west of the parish into Richmond, [10] and two are those associated with St Martin's Priory, the namesake of the parish. [11] [12]

Governance

Historically, St Martin's was in the ecclesiastical parish of Catterick, and was its own extra parochial area, before being made into a civil parish in 1858. [13] [14] It was originally in the wapentake of Gilling West, but was moved into the wapentake Hang East, and now is in Richmondshire, in North Yorkshire. [15] [16] In 2001, the parish had a population of 242, which had dropped to 222 by the time of the 2011 census. [17] [1] In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population of the parish to be 200. [18]

Skeeby Beck is a small river flowing through Gilling West and Skeeby, near to Richmond, in North Yorkshire, England. Skeeby Beck drains the moorland to the north of Richmond and south of the A66 road, and flows in a south-easterly direction until it runs into the River Swale at Brompton-on-Swale. The Environment Agency designate the beck as a one river, even though it has four names along its length. Artificial modification of the beck to enable draining of surrounding fields has straightened the channel in its lower courses, and the bricking up of at least one arch on Gilling Bridge is thought exacerbate flooding when the area is subjected to high rainfall.
