Hillam is a village and civil parish in the Selby District of North Yorkshire, England.

[3] It records a grant of land in Sherburn-in-Elmet and nearby settlements by King Eadgar to Aelsac as a reward for goods and services.

[4] An oxgang was related to the amount of land an ox could plough in a year and is roughly equated to 15 acres.

[10] Hillam News, the village magazine, is distributed to each household every two months[citation needed].

Hillam and Monk Fryston Cricket Club's ground is noted for a tree at the boundary.

Cricket has been played in Hillam over 100 years, and is very much a community activity, with all ages representing both teams[citation needed].

It holds a variety of coarse fish including carp, perch, common roach, eel, bream and tench[citation needed].
