Ellerbeck is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. The population of the parish was estimated at 50 in 2011 and 2011.[1] As the population taken at the 2011 Census remained less than 100, the details are maintained in the civil parish of Winton, Stank and Hallikeld.[2]
The village of Elrebec is mentioned in the Domesday Book as having two ploughlands and being the property of Ligulf in 1066, but King William in 1086.[3] The name was recorded as either Elrebec or Alrebec and means Alder Brook.[4][5]
There was a violent gas explosion in Ellerbeck in the late 1990s which destroyed a house in the village but did not cause any deaths.[6]
