Stonegrave is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. At the 2011 Census the population was less than 100 and so the details are included in the civil parish of Nunnington.[1] By 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population as 110.[2] It is situated in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and 5 miles (8 km) south east of Helmsley[3] on the Helmsley to Malton road (the B1257).[4]
The village is noted for its church, Stonegrave Minster which has its origins in the 8th century.[5] The tower is partly Anglo-Saxon, with the main body of the church rebuilt during the Norman period with locally quarried stone. The grade II* listed church was rebuilt in 1863.[6][7] It is part of a four-parish benefice, including the churches of Oswaldkirk, Stonegrave, Gilling and Ampleforth.[8] It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Stengrif, with the land belonging to Ralph Pagenel.[9]
