N.W. of See also:York on a See also:branch of the See also:North Eastern railway. Pop. (1901) 83o. It lies in the central See also:plain of Yorkshire, on the See also:river Ure near its confluence with the Swale. It is in the See also:parish of See also:Aldborough, the See also:village of that name (q.v.), celebrated for its See also:Roman remains, lying a mile See also:south-See also:east.
About See also:half a mile to the west of Boroughbridge there are three upright stones called the See also:Devil's Arrows, which are of uncertain origin but probably of the See also:Celtic See also:period. The See also:manor of See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf.

William the Conqueror, but suffered so much from the ravages of his soldiers that by 1o86 it had decreased in value from £ro to 55s. When the site of the See also:Great North Road was altered, towards the end of the 11th See also:century, a bridge was built across the Ure, about half a mile above the Roman bridge at Aldborough, and called See also:Burgh bridge or Ponteburgem. This caused a village to See also:spring up, and it afterwards increased so much as to become a market town. In 1229 Boroughbridge, as See also:part of the manor of Aldborough, was granted to See also:Hubert de Burgh, but was forfeited a few years later by his son who fought against the See also:- KING

The See also:history of Boroughbridge during the See also:early 14th century centres See also:round the See also:war with See also:Scotland, and culminates with the See also:battle fought there in 1321. When in 1317 the Scots invaded England, they penetrated as far south as Borough-bridge and burnt the town. Boroughbridge was evidently a borough by See also:prescription, and as such was called upon to return two members to See also:parliament in 1299. It was not represented again until 1553, when the See also:privilege was revived. The town was finally disfranchised in 1832. In 1504 the See also:bailiff and inhabitants of Boroughbridge received a See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.
