[1] Coverham was mentioned in Domesday Book in 1086, when it was held by Count Alan of Brittany.

[2] It became the centre of a large parish in the Honour of Richmond in the North Riding of Yorkshire, which included the townships of Coverham with Agglethorpe, Caldbergh with East Scrafton, Carlton Highdale, Carlton Town, Melmerby and West Scrafton.

[5] In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the population of Coverham with Agglethorpe was 90.

[6] The ruins of the Grade I listed Coverham Abbey are in the village;[7] the site has no access to the public.

[9] It is said to have a slope at its south-east corner whereby the gradient is so steep, that even though you are in the graveyard you cannot see the church nor hear the bells for the adjacent waterfall.
