The townships of Winterburn and Eshton are not part of the original Parish of Kirkby Malhamdale, they lie in the ecclesiastical parish of Gargrave. They are included here because of their geographical location and close links with Malhamdale.
Winterburn – previously: Winterburne, Witreburne
Eshton (the town of Ash trees) – previously: Esther, Asher, Essheton
Flasby – previously: Flaxby, Flasheby, Flattesby, Flatebi
Note that in the post conquest era these townships were in the fee of Clifford (or Percy ?) as part of Gargrave which was of split ownership by the river Aire. Research of Gargrave records may be equally valuable to those of Malhamdale.
