SELBY PARISH #62: SHERBURN IN ELMET
Sherburn in Elmet is the last of the three places in this part of Yorkshire which explicitly use the in-Elmet suffix. It was, as with the others, once associated with the post-Roman kingdom of Elmet
Sherburn is located on a ridge of Permian limestone which is above an alluvial plain in the Ouse Valley. The Roman road connecting Castleford with Tadcaster and York once ran along this ridge
The name Sherburn derives from the Old English "scir" meaning bright or pure, and "burn" which means stream or spring. The name refers to the clarity of the local streams on which it stands
Sherburn is associated with King Athelstan, who in 927 become the first King of England. In 937 he gave the manor of Sherburn to the Archbishop of York
Athlestan is referenced in the name of one of the local schools - Athelstan Primary - and often erroneously at a site close to All Saints’ church. I’ll explain that when we get there
Until the early 20th century the village was almost self supporting, not only with grocers, bakers and butchers but with all kinds of trades like blacksmiths and wheelwrights
The village is famed for a type of aircraft which was crucial in WWII, and it also once had a massive mansion which was lived in by a man heavily associated with the South Yorkshire coal mines
Speaking of coal, it was mined here too briefly. Let’s have a wander shall we?
