Nether Silton

Summary
Nether Silton is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England. It lies east of Northallerton, on the border of the North York Moors national park. During 1870–72 Nether Silton was described as, "a chapelry in Leake parish, N. R. Yorkshire; 61⁄2 miles E of Northallerton r. station. Post town, Thirsk. Real property, £1,702. Pop. 178. Houses, 45." by John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales. Historically areas were classified into Ancient Counties, alternatively known as Historic counties of England, Nether Silton was within the county of Yorkshire. These Ancient Counties were then separated further, Nether Silton was within the North Riding of Yorkshire. Areas were then separated into Poor Law Union/Registration district, Nether Silton came under Northallerton. Nether Silton then became part of Birdforth, an Ancient District. Then formed part of a Registration sub-District under Northallerton. Then became a Sanitary District under the area of Northallerton. Again, continued to be part of Northallerton under Local government district. Previously part of Leake civil parish, Nether Silton became a parish in its own right in 1866. The only growth in the area was in 1934, an increase of to , through gaining part of Leake. In 1881 the total population occupying Nether Silton was 176, consisting of 96 males and 80 females. The changing population graph of Nether Silton, shows that since 1881 the population of those living in the village has continued to decrease. According to data from the Census the population in 2001 was 93, consisting of 44 males and 49 females. 55% of the population are aged 45 years and above and the mean age of the population is 46.6 years. Therefore, from the demographic statistics, Nether Silton has a declining population and also an emerging ageing population. This now appears to have all changed with the 2011 census measuring the population at 276. In 1881, 36 out of the 44 males were employed in agriculture, therefore the dominant occupation.
