Malton Parish Not Always Separate before 18C.

The following mentioned archived snapshot of British History Online has the following:

Although Malton has remained separate from Orwell, Orwell constables had responsibility for Malton's dikes in the 17th century, (fn. 5) and from time to time Malton was considered to be a part of Orwell. In 1677 the Malton poor-rate was assessed with Orwell's (fn. 6) but in 1765 it was assessed separately.

In fact the Malton Farm was itself referred to as Malton, as this article suggests that in 1594 the entire estate was surrounded by a hedge, and the depopulation of Malton parish occurred as early as 1428. Lmstearn (talk) 09:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
