Background
History
The name 'Hovingham' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Hovingham. The settlement lay within the Maneshou hundred. The lands at the time of the Norman invasion belonged to Orm, son of Gamal. After the invasion, the lands were granted to Hugh, son of Baldric. The name 'Hovingham' means 'the village of Hofa's people'. There is evidence of Roman activity around the village which sat on the Malton to Aldburgh road in those times. During the construction of Hovingham Hall gardens, a Roman bath, tesselated pavement and other artefacts were uncovered. The village had a station on the Thirsk and Malton branch of the North Eastern Railway.
