Ebberston is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Ebberston and Yedingham in North Yorkshire, England, and is 34 miles (55 km) east from the county town of Northallerton. In 1961 the parish had a population of 466.[1]
Ebberston used to be in the Wapentake of Pickering Lythe. A cairn north-east from the village is dedicated to Alfrid, King of Northumberland, who supposedly sought sanctuary in a cave here before being removed to Little Driffield where he died.[2]
On 18 August 2009 a 500 lb unexploded bomb was destroyed in a controlled explosion next to the village which necessitated the evacuation of hundreds of local residents from Ebberston and Allerston.[5] The bomb hailed from a 'Whitley Mark V Bomber', of the No. 102 Squadron RAF, based at RAF Linton-on-Ouse which crash landed on 27 October 1940, with all personnel having bailed out and survived.[6]
