There lived in the year 1100, in the county of Yorkshire, North Riding, in that part of England which according to Henry VIII, "God made last", a lord of the manor of Gyrlyngton, a man named Waleran de Gyrlyngton. Waleran de Gyrlyngton presided over Gyrlyngton Hall located northeast of Hutton Magna. "The Hall is a very ancient house, which was built before the reign of King Henry III...and was the house of the ancient family of Gyrlyngton, who possessed this manor or lordship for upwards of six hundred years."
