Whitley Historical Society

Although Whitley is only a small North Yorkshire village, its history has been traced back to the days of Knights Templars circa 13th century. A Knights Templar grange is sited just outside the village, where animals, fish and crops were raised for the knights.

The Historical Society in Whitley was formed in 2006 as an off-shoot of developing the Village plan. The society have identified a number of sites of interest and produced a Heritage Trail leaflet, that enables people to follow thr trail and see the sites. You can follow th trail by starting at the George and Dragon pub in the centre of our village.

To support both the Heritage Trail and the society, a website has been developed, and information updated when available. You can visit the site by clicking on the picture opposite.

The society are always looking for more information, so if you have anything they can post to the website, please contact Carole or Richard on 01977 661285.
