West Applegarth Farm

The name Applegarth has Norse origins.[3] A mansion

stood on the site now occupied by West Applegarth farm,
and the land to the north of Applegarth Scar was wild
forest, with wolves and fallow deer.[4] Applegarth was
part of the manor of Ravensworth which belonged for
many years to the FitzHughs.[4] Applegarth Forest was
described as picturesque and delightful in 1791.[5]
In 1250, free warren in Applegarth was granted to Henry,
son of Ralph de Ravenswath, and at the time of Kirkbys
Inquest of 1284, Robert de Applegarth, a baili of Rich-
mond, held a carucate of land at Applegarth under Hugh
Fitz Henry. The FitzHughs continued to own Applegarth
until the sixteenth century, when it passed to William
Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton. Parr granted Ap-
plegarth to a faithful retainer, Thomas son of Georey

ily. Thomas died in 1565, and the inventory of his eects
