Risby, Yorkshire

Risby is a deserted mediæval village near Skidby, Yorkshire, in the East Riding. The village of Risby was recorded in Domesday. In c.1550 a deer park was created at Risby by enclosing some of the settlement's open fields and this was enlarged several times up to the late 17th century. Sir James Bradshaw built Risby Hall and laid out the surrounding gardens in the 1680s. The present site contains earthwork remains of the village, the later hall and its formal gardens. The site is within the council area of East Riding of Yorkshire.
