Myton-on-Swale

Myton-on-Swale is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England. It is about 3 miles east of Boroughbridge and on the River Swale.

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Mitune in the Bulford hundred. Prior to the Norman invasion, the manor was split between Ligulf, Gospatric and Alverle. After 1086, the manor was the possession of Robert de Mortain, who tenanted some of the land to Niel Fossard and some to Robert de Stutevil. Eventually part of the manor passed to the Mowbray family. In 1294 the manor was granted to St Mary's Abbey in York until its dissolution on 1539. Afterwards it was granted to Lord Burghley and John Fortescue, and eventually was sold to the Stapyltons.
