Background
History
The name Helmsley derives from the Old English Hemelesēg meaning 'Hemele's island'. 'Gate' refers to the village's position on the Roman road from York to Malton. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hamelsec in the Bulford hundred and as a possession of the Archbishop of York. Gate Helmsley was served by Holtby railway station on the York to Beverley Line between 1847 and 1939.
