Helperby


Helperby is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Brafferton and Helperby, in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England, about five miles west of Easingwold. Over the years it has joined onto Brafferton. On 1 April 2019 the parish was merged with Brafferton to form "Brafferton and Helperby".
Helperby has the Millennium Village Hall, a butcher's shop and a doctor's surgery. There are two pubs, one a restaurant with rooms, one a village inn, and two churches, a Church of England and a disused Methodist Chapel which is now a house. In 2008 Helperby had a new pavilion at the football and cricket pitch.
There is also an annual beer festival held in September to raise funds for future development of a Children's play area.
The film The Life and Crimes of William Palmer was filmed in the village in 1998.
