Thornville is a civil parish on the River Nidd in North Yorkshire, England. In 2015 the parish had an estimated population of 10.[1] The parish touches Cattal, Kirk Hammerton and Tockwith.
A village of Catala was recorded in the Domesday Book, which has been identified with Thornville. It is recorded as a deserted medieval village, although the manor house survived and is now Old Thornville, the main settlement in the parish.[2][3] The modern name was probably devised by William Thornton.[4]
In 1858, Thornville was a detached portion of the parish of Whixley, later becoming a parish in its own right.[4] From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Borough of Harrogate, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
The parish is governed by a parish meeting.[5]
