Myton-on-Swale

[3][4] The Battle of Myton was fought opposite the village on the north bank of the Swale on 20 September 1319 between local levies, led by William Melton, Archbishop of York, and Scots raiders led by James Douglas and Thomas Randolph.

It also lies within the Helperby ward and the Easingwold electoral division of North Yorkshire Council.

[7] In 1820, the Stapylton family had the remains of Robert de Mowbray transferred from Byland Abbey to be interred at the church.

Myton Hall is a Grade I Listed Building and was the seat of the Stapylton family from around 1693, though it may be slightly earlier, until 1933.

[3][4][9][10] To the east of Myton Hall are the gate piers, wall and railings to the estate which have also been assessed as worthy of Grade I Listing.
