Historical Description
North Allerton is a genteel market-town, is pleasantly situated on the river Wiske, consisting chiefly of one long street. It is a very ancient town, and according to the opinion of the learned antiquary Roger Gale, derives is name from King Alfred, and was a station in the time of the Romans.
In the year 1138, near this town, the Scots were met by the English forces, commanded by William Earl of Albemarle, accompanied by Walter D’Espee, Roger Mowbray, Robert de Bruce, Bernard de Baliol, Walter de Grant, and all the northern barons. In a sort of wheel carriage they had erected a long pole, at the top of which was a cross, and under this a banner, from whence the battle that ensued, acquired the name of the Battle of the Standard. Around this ensign the English were drawn up in a firm compact body, the front being composed of pikemen and archers intermixed, to receive the first shock of the enemy. The Prince of Scotland advanced to the attack with such impetuosity, that he bore down all before him, and even penetrated to the rear of the English, who, terrified at his success, began to fall into disorder, and gave way, when their total defeat was prevented by the stratagem of an old soldier, who, cutting off a man’s head, erected it on the point of his spear, and calling aloud, "behold the head of the Scotch king," rallied the troops, and renewed the battle. The Scots, confounded at this apparition, and dispirited by the flight of the Caledonians, fought no longer with alacrity, but began to give ground in all quarters; nor could David the Scots king, who fought on foot with undaunted courage, bring them back to the charge, so that he was obliged to mount on horseback and quit the field. The fugitives seeing the royal banner still displayed, were convinced of their king’s being alive, and crowded around him in such numbers that he was able to form a considerable body, with which he retreated in good order to Carlisle, where he was, on the third day after the battle, joined by his son.
In the year 1318, North Allerton was burned by the Scots, who at one period during these wars, had made so many English captives, that scarcely a family in the south of Scotland was without an English slave.
The municipal government of the town is vested in a bailiff, deputed and authorised by the Bishop of Durham, for the time being. The bishop is lord of the manor. The borough sends two members to parliament. The right of voting is annexed to the site of the greater part of the houses adjoining to, and forming the street; few or none of the back tenements are considered as part of the burgage-tenures, or consequently entitled to vote. Some of these tenures now subsist in the form of stables or cow-houses, in which the appearance of our common chimneys are preserved as a memorial of their right; others are let to poor persons at a small annual rent, on condition of their keeping them in repair; and many are totally ruinous and uninhabited. The Bishop of Durham’s bailiff is returning officer.
The weekly market is held on Wednesdays, and there are four fairs, on the days inserted in our list.
The market-place is spacious, and surrounded with good houses; the town is in general well-built with brick, and contains between two and three thousand inhabitants. The village of Smeaton, on the great north road, about seven miles distant, is remarkable for the grandeur of its prospects; viz. the southern parts of the county of Durham, Cleveland, and the fine country along the banks of the Tees, towards Richmond, with part of the Vale of York, in contrast with the black frowning mountains of the eastern and western moors, all in full view.
About a quarter of a mile west of North Allerton are the Castle Hills, so called from the Castle which formerly stood there, at which place are also to be seen many Roman entrenchments, On the east side of the town formerly stood a small monastery called the Treres, built by Thomas Hatfield, secretary of state to King Edward III. for white friars, anno 1354.
NORTHALLERTON is a market and union town, the capita] of the wapentake, or shire of Allerton and of the North Riding, seated on the Sun. Beck, a small stream that crosses the town from east to west, and the head of a county court district, with stations on the main line of the North Eastern railway, and on the Leeds and Stockton branch; 221 miles from London, 8 east from Bedale, 14 ¼ south-east from Darlington, 83 ½ from Hull, 43 from Leeds, 18 from Leyburn, 45 from Milford, 54 ¾ from Normanton, 17 north from Ripon, 82 ¾ from Sheffield, 53 from Selby, 7 ¾ north-west from Thirsk and 30 ½ north-west from York, in the Richomod division of the Riding, Allertonshire petty sessional division, rural deanery of Northallerton, archdeaconry of Cleveland and diocese of York.
The town formerly returned one member to Parliament, but under the provisions of the “Redistribution of seats Act, 1885, ’’ the representation was merged in that of the Riding. It consists principally of one street, running nearly north and south, of a good width and more than half a mile long, and is paved and is a cleanly, healthy, thriving place, depending for its trade on the agricultural district in the midst of which it is situated. A Local Board of twelve members was formed June 6, 1851, under the “Public Health Act of 1848,” but the town is now governed by an Urban District Council, established under the provisions of the “Local Government Act, 1894” (56 and 57 Vict. c. 73). Gas is supplied by a limited company incorporated in 1870, and the electric light by a company formed in 1899; the town is lighted by electricity. The water supply is derived from springs at Thimbleby, about 6 miles distant, and is brought down to a service reservoir at Bulla Moor; pipes have been laid down in the town, and reservoirs were completed in 1893; a new reservoir is now (1913) in course of construction at an estimated cost of about £15,000; the works are the property of the District Council.

The church of All Saints is an ancient cruciform building of stone, about 112 feet in length, in the Norman, Early English and Perpendicular styles, consisting of chancel, nave, aisles, transepts, south porch and a central embattled tower with pinnacles, 80 feet in height, and containing a clock and 8 bells t the fabric, originally Norman and erected about 1120, was reconstructed about 1200—10 and partially destroyed by fire during the irruption of the scots in 1318: in 1381 the tower was rebuilt by Thomas de Hatfield, Bishop of Durham, and Bishop Neville (1438—57) inserted the great window of the south transept, and snbsequentlv the aisles were-modified: in 1779 the chancel was wholly rebuilt in the style of that period, and in 1786 the fine open timbered roofs of the nave, aisles and transepts were taken down and the nave and aisles covered by a roof of one span: in 1883—4 the nave, aisles, tower and transepts were thoroughly restored under the direction of the late Mr. C. Hodgson Fowler M.A., F.R.I.B.A. architect, of Durham, and re-opened on Friday, February 22, 1884, by the Archbishop of York, and in 1885 the chancel was rebuilt in the Perpendicular style under the same architect, and in 1890 further restorations were effected; the total cost; including the erection of the Chanel of Ease at Romanby, amounted to £18,334: the Norman church is still represented by the massive piers of the north arcade of the nave: the south arcade and the transepts are Early English and the tower Perpendicular: the font dates from 1662: a new organ was provided in 1887: there are 875 sittings. The register dates from the year 1593.

Samuel McKinnon Thompson M.A., B.D. of Trinity College, Dublin, and chaplain of H.M. Prison: the impropriate tithe amounts to £349.

The Cemetery, formed in 1856, extends over about three acres and has two mortuary chapels, and is now controlled by a joint committee of the Northallerton Urban District Council and Romanby Parish Council.
The North Riding County Hall, opened 31 Jan. 1906, is a building of Ted brick and terra cotta in the Renaissance style, from designs by Mr. W. H. Brierley, architect, of York, and was erected at a cost, including accessories, of £33,000.
