RIDINGS are the three districts into which from See also:ancient times See also:Yorkshire has been divided for administrative purposes. Formerly there were similar districts in See also:Lindsey in See also:Lincolnshire. The word See also:riding was originally written as thrithing or thriding, but the initial th has been absorbed in the final th or t of the words See also:north, See also:south, See also:east and See also:west, by which it was normally preceded. Ridings are Scandinavian institutions, In See also:Iceland the third See also:part of a thing which corresponds roughly to an See also:English See also:county was called thrithjungr; in See also:Norway, however, the thrithjungr seems to have been an ecclesiastical See also:division. According to the 12th-See also:century compilation known as the " See also:laws of See also:Edward the See also:Confessor," the riding was the third part of a county (provincia); to it causes were brought which could not be determined in the See also:wapentake, and a See also:matter which could not be determined in the riding was brought into the See also:court of the See also:shire. There is abundant See also:evidence that riding courts were held after the See also:Norman See also:Conquest. A See also:charter which See also:- HENRY

Peter's at See also:York mentions wapentacmot, tridingmot and shiresmot, and exemptions from suit to the thriding or riding may be noticed frequently in the charters of the Norman See also:kings. As yet, however, the See also:jurisdiction and functions of these courts have not been ascertained. It seems probable from the silence of the records that they had already fallen into disuse See also:early in the 13th century.
Each of the ridings of Yorkshire has its own See also:lord See also:lieutenant and See also:commission of the See also:peace, and under the See also:Local See also:Government See also:Act of 1883 forms a See also:separate administrative county. They are distinguished as the north, east and west ridings, but the ancient
divisions of Lindsey were known as the north, south and west ridings respectively.
