Finghall, historically spelt Fingall,[2] is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England.

[6] The origin of the place-name is the Old English words Fin, inga and hall meaning a nook of land of the family or followers of a man called Fina.

[7] Finghall was a large ancient parish in the wapentake of Hang West in the North Riding of Yorkshire.

It is thought that the Medieval village of Fingall was clustered around the church but was abandoned during a plague.

[14] A local legend maintains that the willows that line the beck to the north of the village, of which there is a good view from the dining room and terrace of the pub, inspired Kenneth Grahame to write The Wind in the Willows.
