Warsill is a settlement and civil parish in the Harrogate district, in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It consists of a few scattered farms 5 miles (8 km) south west of Ripon. In 1961 the population of the parish was 42. [1] The population was estimated at 70 in 2015. [2]
Warsill was historically an extra parochial area. It became a civil parish in 1858. [3] Today it shares a grouped parish council with Bishop Thornton. [4]
The toponym, first recorded in 1132 as Warthsala, probably derives from the Old English weard sæl, meaning "watch castle". [5] In the Middle Ages there was a grange of Fountains Abbey here, and Warsill Hall Farmhouse, a 17th-century Grade II listed building, now stands on its site. [6]
