Bridge Hewick
According to A Dictionary of British Place Names, 'Bridge Hewick' could be derived from the Old English 'brycg' for "at the bridge", with 'heah+wic', meaning a "high or chief dairy-farm". Hewick is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Heawic", in the Hallikeld Hundred of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Listed for the settlement are three ploughlands and a meadow of one acre. In 1066 the lord of Hewick was Ealdred, Archbishop of York; lordship in 1086, after the Conquest, was held by the following archbishop, Thomas of Bayeux, who was also Tenant-in-chief to King William.
In 1837, Bridge Hewick population was 77. In 1870–02 Bridge Hewick was a township of 867 acres (4 km) in the civil parish of Ripon, with a population of 89 in 18 houses. A chapel in Bridge Hewick was in 1826 described as "in ruins".
The Bridge Hewick local public house is the Black-A-Moor Inn. The Bridge over the River Ure is the starting point of a circular walk around Ripon known as the Sanctuary Way Walk.
