Terrington

The village is mentioned four times in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Teurintone. The lands were divided between the manors of Bulmer and Foston. At the time of the time of Norman Conquest of England, lands in the manor were held by Ligulf, Northmann, Earl Morcar, Earl Waltheof and Gamal, son of Karli. Afterwards the lands were granted to Robert, Count of Mortain, Count Alan of Brittany and Berengar of Tosny.{{OpenDomesday|SE6770|terrington|Terrington}} The manor was held soon after by Niel Fossard and then followed the descent of the manor of nearby Sheriff Hutton. Other lands were tenanted in the 13th century by the Latimer family and followed the descent of his manor at Danby until the 16th century. The manor was not held in demesne like other manors. In 1427 the manor was held by the lord of Sessay manor, Edmund Darell, and remained in his family until 1752. At that time it was sold to Henry Howard, 4th Earl of Carlisle. Those lands that were part of Foston manor became the property of the Lutrell family of Appleton-le-Street.{{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64613|title=History|accessdate=25 January 2013}}{{cite book|title=Bulmer's Topography, History and Directory (Private and Commercial) of North Yorkshire 1890 |pages=810–811|year=2002|origyear=1890 |publisher= S&N Publishing|isbn= 1-86150-299-0}}

The village name is Old English, but of uncertain meaning. One suggestion is that it is from Tiefrung, a picture, linked to an older history of a Roman villa and mosaic floors. Another is the Anglo-Saxon name for witchcraft.{{cite book|chapter-url=http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199609086.001.0001/acref-9780199609086-e-12818?rskey=yv2gya&result=12582&q=|chapter=Terrington N.
