Brafferton and Helperby is a civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England. Up until 2019, both Brafferton and Helperby were in their own civil parishes, but a vote, and then later an order was convened, to amalgamate the two into one parish covering both villages.
The ancient ( ecclesiastical) parish of Brafferton, also included Helperby within the parish domain. [1] When civil parishes were introduced, the two villages were separated out, but are a contiguous settlement with Brafferton at the north end, and Helperby at the south end. [2] [3] On 1 April 2019, the two parishes were combined into one civil parish – Brafferton and Helperby, with seven elected council members. [4] Previous to this, each council had five members. [5]
Historically, the ecclesiastical parish of Brafferton included Helperby and Thornton Bridge, where Helperby was described as a township. [6] Both previous civil parishes were instituted in 1894, both fulfilling the requirements of a local government act of 1889, which stipulated anywhere with 200 or more voters, could have a parish council. [5] In 1999, the two separate civil parishes of Brafferton and Helperby pooled their money and resources to build a new village hall, which is situated in Helperby next to the war memorial. [7]
At the 2011 Census, Brafferton had a population of 311 [8] and Helperby had 520. [9] In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the two villages had a population of 820 people – 300 in Brafferton and 520 in Helperby. [10]
