Clotherholme is a settlement 2 miles (3.2 km) to the north-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, England. The area was the site of Clotherholme DMV, which was depopulated sometime around ???? thereafter becoming a small settlement with a population of just 12 in 1871. The British Army opened up a training camp in the area which was named as Claro and Deverell Barracks; these camps are due to close in the late 2020s and are proposed to be redeveloped into a new village called Clotherholme.
History
Clotherholme was mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to William of Percy and having one ploughland.[1] Much of the land that formed the later Clotherholme parish was granted to the monks of Fountains Abbey in the late 12th century.[2] In 1312, Roger De Coltherum was granted the right to found a chantry in the Chapel of St Mary the Virgin in Clotherholme.[3] The chapel was still in use in 1535 as it is mentioned in a subsidy roll for Henry VIII. The priest in charge was Constantyne.[4] The manor house at Clotherholme, which has been destroyed, was the seat of the Pigot family; it is thought that at least one member of the Pigot family took part in the Wars of the Roses, and another fulfilled the role of Wakeman in Ripon. The house was demolished in the 17th century, though there are some remains.[5]
A map from 1849 shows only Bishopton Close (which became the grammar school) as the only building in the Clotherholme area.[6] A survey from 1881 determined that the settlement was 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of Ripon and covered 339 acres (137 ha).[7]
It is hoped that the creation of a new village on the site of the army camps will retain some of the historical buildings associated with both the World Wars, in particular those which were used as training for the D-Day Landings.[8] Homes England announced in June 2025 that they had acquired the sites from the army and intend to start building when the British military vacate the area in 2026. The plan calls for 1,300 homes, a primary school, a community centre and a retail centre. The new village would increase Ripon’s population by a fifth.[9]
Parish and population
Historically, the parish of Clotherholme was in the wapentake of Claro and in the Rural District of Ripon and of Pateley Bridge. It was transferred into North Yorkshire from the old West Riding of Yorkshire in 1974.[10] It is now part of the Ripon civil parish, having being subsumed into the parish of Ripon in April 1988, and is represented at Westminster as part of the Skipton and Ripon Constituency.[11][12]
