The former being a settlement of a Dane called Upple, and the latter being an Angle settlement on the lease-mires or leased-lands. The name of Easingwold is Anglo Saxon in origin, with wold being a derivation of wald meaning forest, and the former part being a Saxon family name called Esa. Although rich in history and folklore, Easingwold is essentially a very tranquil town with everything it needs at its doorstep.
The town has so much to offer that it attracts both young and established families as well as retirees.
