Background
History
Acklam is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Aclum in the East Riding and gave its name to the Hundred. The Lord in 1066 was named as Siward and comprised 4 ploughlands with 2 Lord's plough teams and a church. The village lay within the ancient Wapentake of Buckrose. The village was a part of the East Riding of Yorkshire until 1974. Between 1974 and 2023 it was in the Ryedale district. The etymology of the name is derived from Old English Δc (an oak tree) and lΔah (a forest or wood clearing). There are the remains of an earthwork motte and bailey castle on a ridge overlooking the village to the south.
