context_page_description: Skelton is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York, in North Yorkshire, England. It is 4 miles north northwest of the city of York, west of Haxby, and on the east bank of the River Ouse. Skelton was in the ancient royal Forest of Galtres and covers 977.3 hectares. Skelton was made a conservation area in 1973.
  The village name probably began as the Anglo-Saxon 'Shelfton' – 'the settlement on high ground'– becoming the present 'Skelton' under the invading Danes. The village, along with nearby Overton, is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
  According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 1,640, reducing to 1,549 at the 2011 Census. Between 1974 and 1996 it was in the Ryedale district and prior to 1974 in the historic North Riding of Yorkshire.
context_section_description: The village was primarily agricultural in nature, but is now mostly residential with a small commercial district to the south west of the village. Local Services consist of a Post Office and General Store, one Public House and one Social Club, and a Doctor's Surgery.
