Index Map to the Wapentake of Gilling East
The history and descent of this wapentake are given under the account
of Richmondshire (q.v.). With few exceptions the boundaries have
remained unchanged since the 13th century. Middleton Tyas, Dalton Norris
and Forcett were then returned under both Gilling East and Gilling West.
Kneeton, afterwards in Gilling East, was given under Gilling West, and the
township of Gilmonby, later in Gilling West, was then taken in Gilling East. (fn. 2)
