Thirn is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. [2] It is situated close to the River Ure, about 3 miles (5 km) south-west of Bedale. [3]

The hamlet of Thirn is mentioned in the Domesday Book, and the name derives from the Old English þyrne, meaning thorn-bush. [4] [5] [6] Historically the hamlet was in the ecclesiastical parish of Thornton Watlass, in the wapentake of Hang East. [7] [8]

From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

There is a former Wesleyan Chapel which is located on the road to Thornton Watlass, [8] and a former public house (The Boot & Shoe). [9]
