'''Yedingham''' is a village and former [civil parish](/source/civil_parish), now in the parish of [Ebberston and Yedingham](/source/Ebberston_and_Yedingham), halfway between [West Knapton](/source/West_Knapton) and [Allerston](/source/Allerston), nine miles north-east of [Malton](/source/Malton%2C_North_Yorkshire) in [North Yorkshire](/source/North_Yorkshire), England.

It was historically part of the [East Riding of Yorkshire](/source/East_Riding_of_Yorkshire) until 1974. The village was part of the [Ryedale](/source/Ryedale) district between 1974 and 2023. It is now administered by [North Yorkshire Council](/source/North_Yorkshire_Council).

In 1961 the parish had a population of 95.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10475703/cube/TOT_POP|title=Population statistics Yedingham CP/AP through time|publisher=[A Vision of Britain through Time](/source/A_Vision_of_Britain_through_Time)|accessdate=13 December 2021}}</ref>

==History==
The village name is thought to derive from [Old English](/source/Old_English), once meaning 'Homestead of Eada and his people'.<ref>

On 1 April 1986 the parish was abolished and merged with [Ebberston](/source/Ebberston) to form "Ebberston and Yedingham".<ref>{{cite web |title=The Ryedale (Parishes) Order 1985 |url=https://kurka.edu.pl/k/ryedale-parishes-order-1985.pdf |accessdate=13 December 2021 |publisher=[Local Government Boundary Commission for England](/source/Local_Government_Boundary_Commission_for_England)}}</ref>

[St John's Church, Yedingham](/source/St_John's_Church%2C_Yedingham) lies in the village, and the [River Derwent](/source/River_Derwent%2C_Yorkshire) flows through to its north. The original bridge crossing the [Derwent](/source/River_Derwent%2C_Yorkshire) was built in 1731. This was replaced by the current bridge built in 1970.<ref>
