Stalling Busk
As well as the Grade II listed St Matthew's Church, Stalling Busk has the ruined Old St Matthew's Church, that is also Grade II listed, which can be found on a short walk towards Semer Water. In St Matthew's Church graveyard, is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial plot. The village itself only consists of 17 buildings, with one of those being the church.
Historically the village was part of the Ancient Parish of Aysgarth, part of the wapentake of Hang West, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. By 1742, Stalling Busk had been made into its own civil parish with the other settlements in Raydale withing its parish boundaries. In 1974, it was moved into the Bainbridge civil parish, in the newer county of North Yorkshire. It is represented at Westminster as part of the Richmond Constituency.
