Civil parish in North Yorkshire, England
Civil parish in England
Ainderby Miers with Holtby is a civil parish in North Yorkshire, England.[1] The population taken at the 2011 Census was less than 100. Information is now kept with the parish of Hackforth.[2] However, in 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the population of the parish was 20.[3] The parish is bounded to the east by the A1(M) motorway,[4] and is about 3 miles (5 km) south of Catterick, and 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Bedale.[5] It includes the hamlets of Ainderby Miers and Holtby Grange.
Ainderby occurs three times in the area (Ainderby Quernhow, Ainderby Steeple, and Ainderby Miers). The first part is derived from a personal name, Eindriði, and the second part denotes the area: Quernhow was where the quern-stones came from, Steeple denoted the church, and Miers denoted that the land there was boggy (a mire).[6]
