History
Appleton Wiske, which is today only one tiny parish in the zone of the Hambleton District of the North of Yorkshire, is one of the 41 ancient parishes of the hundred of Langbaurgh in the Cleveland Division.
The parish was offered by William the Conqueror to Robert de Bruce de Skelton, an ancestor of Robert I {{er}} of Scotland, the famous Scottish king. The son of Bruce thereafter gave it to the Sainte-Marie abbey, with Hornby and other grounds. He kept the possession of the Sainte-Marie abbey until the Dissolution of the monasteries, when he was granted by Henri VIII to Charles Brandon, which later became the duke of Suffolk. The parish then passed between several hands and was finally split at the 19th century, early after the death of Robert Henry Allan, whose family had the Paroisse since the beginning of the 18th century.
