Aldfield, West Riding

Description
Aldfield, a village and a township in the parish of Aldfield-cum-Studley, in the W. R. of Yorkshire, and on the rivulet Skell, 4 miles SW of Ripon station on the N.E.R. Post town, Ripon. Acreage, 1269 ; population, 116. The Marquis of Ripon, K.G., is lord of the manor and sole landowner. A sulphuretted spring exists here, in a picturesque spot, and, but for being so near Harrogate, would probably be in great request. A church for the parish was built in Studley Park, and consecrated in 1878. The living (net value, £176) is consolidated with that of Studley Roger, Studley Royal-cum-Lindrick, and Fountains, and is in the gift of Earl de Grey.
