Aspects of Coxwoldshire

"Coxwoldshire does not appear on any map ... the name has been lost. The area is however, still there. It is in the valley between the Hambleton and Howardian Hills with the village of Coxwold at its centre. In medieval times the term was frequently used in documents referring to Coxwold, Byland, Newburgh, Husthwaite, Baxby, Thornton-on-the Hill, Yearsley, Thirkleby and Osgodby."--Introd.
