Upper Poppleton is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York in North Yorkshire, England.

[3] The villages and lands were given by Osbert De Arches to the Abbot of St Mary's in York.

[4] In 1644 the 25,000 strong Scottish and Parliament Armies, led by the Earl of Manchester, laid siege to the city of York.

This bridge was eventually taken by Prince Rupert and his Royalist Forces, but he subsequently lost the battle at Marston Moor.

[8] The Poppletons were formerly agricultural settlements with many farms, but the modern village is mostly a dormitory for commuters to the nearby towns and cities.

The village has local retail facilities, including a post office, and some small enterprises.

[11] Manor is a Church of England School and has its own admissions policy separate from the local City Council.

[12] It was originally built in 1813 at Kings Manor and has moved several times before being sited in Millfield Lane.

[13] East Yorkshire (bus company) buses run past the village as part of the York to Ripon route.

[14] First York buses operate in the village as part of the Nether Poppleton route to York/Stamford Bridge.

Northern Rail operates a stopping service on the line between York and Leeds via Harrogate.

The old Norman 'Chapel of All Hallows' in Upper Poppleton was demolished in 1890 to make way for the Victorian All Saints' Church.
