Minskip is a village in the civil parish of Boroughbridge, in North Yorkshire, England. It is on the A6055 road and 1 mile south-west of Boroughbridge. Minskip appears in the Domesday Book as Minescip, a name derived from the Old English gemaenscipe meaning a community or communal holding.[1]
Administration
[edit]Minskip was historically a township in the parish of Aldborough[2] in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[3] It became a separate civil parish in 1866, but on 1 April 1938 the civil parish was abolished and merged into the civil parish of Boroughbridge.[4] In 1931 the parish had a population of 238.[5] In 1974 Minskip was transferred from the West Riding to the new county of North Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was in the Harrogate district.
