History
Bishop Ings is legally defined as an Ecclesiastical Extra-Parochial Area in North Riding, Yorkshire until 1873. This is an area not included within a parish. Extra-parochial areas were gradually either integrated with a neighbouring or surrounding parish, or made separate civil parishes by the Extra-Parochial Places Act 1857 and the Poor Law Amendment Act 1868. Information regarding this locality is available for Leake, a parish, in the union of Thirsk, chiefly in the wapentake of Allertonshire, but partly in the wapentake of Birdforth.
