Bellerby is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, about 7 miles (11 km) south-west of Richmond.

The village has one pub, the Cross Keys, a small and historic Anglican church and a Methodist chapel.

Bellerby is situated 673 feet (205 m) above sea level and is surrounded by low-lying hills with an open south-easterly aspect.

[5] The population of Bellerby could have decreased in the early 1900s due to a large proportion of people migrating from the UK (and from all over Europe) to America seeking job opportunities and to experience the ever-expanding American cities such as New York.

[7] The book describes Bellerby as being medium by having a population of 15 households, and the total tax assesd as large (6 geld units).

Phillimore reference: 6N104[8] According to the 2011 census which shows the age structure of the people who live in Bellerby we can assume that this village is affluent and gentrified.

88 of these dwellings were detached household spaces, 63 semi-detached and 41 terraced with no purpose built flats or apartments.

This suggests that the residents of Bellerby are middle to upper class as many of the households are detached with no apartment blocks in the area.

This data also suggests that Bellerby is an economically stable area with a low percentage of unemployed people.

The present church was designed to be more colourful than her predecessor, with stained glass windows showing the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus.

After a lot of fund raising on the parish's behalf, the church was restored with a new roof and decoration inside.
