About our village and parish
Cridling Stubbs is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, approximately 10 miles southwest of Selby. Its nearest neighbouring towns are Knottingley and Pontefract. The western boundary of the village is also the boundary between West and North Yorkshire.
Historically, until 1974, the village was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The parish covers 4.127 km². Its population grew from 148 in 2001 to 152 in 2011 and 165 in the 2021 census.
The name of our village
Cridling is probably an old singular formation of a person’s name, Cridela, with –ing. It is mentioned in Early Yorkshire Charters dating from 1155–77, and appears as Cryd(e)lyng Stubes in the Parish Register of Darrington of 1614 and Cridlinge Stubbes in the Yorkshire Archaeological Journal from 1598. “Stubbs” refers to tree stumps remaining after woodland was cleared.
