| Weaverthorpe is a village and civil
parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. It is 13
miles (21 km) south-west of Scarborough. The village sits in the Great
Wold Valley and the waters of the winterbourne stream the Gypsey Race
flow alongside the main street in the village. The waters of the Gypsey
Race have carved a small valley out of the surrounding chalk. This has
left small plateaus like the one that the Church of St Andrew is perched
on as it overlooks the village. The village is served by unclassified
roads and lies 3.1 miles (5 km) south of the A64 road at Sherburn. There
was a railway station on the York to Scarborough Line at Sherburn which
was called Weaverthorpe. It had been renamed from Sherburn to Wykeham
and then renamed again to Weaverthorpe. This was to avoid confusion over
place names (as there was a Wykeham station on the Forge Valley Line
between Pickering and Seamer) Click Here for more info on the Weaverthorpe Parish Website |
