I looked at Genuki first Nivard, but did a further search . Today Great Smeaton seems to come under Northhallerton, when you do a google search . Edie ------------------------------------------ From: Nivard Ovington via <yorksgen@rootsweb.com> To: yorksgen@rootsweb.com; Subject: Re: [YORKSGEN] Sculcoates >From genuki The Ancient Parish of HORNBY [Transcribed information mainly from the early 1820s] "HORNBY, a parish in the wapentake of Hang East, and liberties of St. Peter's. and Richmondshire; 5 miles NW. of Bedale. Here is a church dedicated to St. Mary (see Churches for photograph); the living is a vicarage, in the patronage of the Dean and Chapter of York, and the Rev. J. Alderson, is the incumbent. Hornby castle one of the seats of His Grace the Duke of Leeds, is situated in this township. This mansion is a spacious structure of a mixed architecture, and the apartments are grand and superbly finished. The situation is commanding and from the battlements are seen to great advantage the rich and picturesque valley of Bedale, stretching up to the western moors and forming a grand and imposing contrast. Hornby castle was anciently the lordship and seat of the family of St. Quintin, from whom it passed to the Conyers, and ultimately to the Osbornes. Population, 102." And The Ancient Parish of GREAT SMEATON (in which there is) "HORNBY, in the parish of Great Smeaton, wapentake and liberty of Allertonshire; 1ΒΌ miles NE. of Great Smeaton, 8 miles N. of Northallerton. The only place of worship in this village is a small Methodist chapel. The Grange in this township is the residence of Henry Howgill, Esq. Population, 238."
