  The parish of Wheldrake covers an area of 4,300 acres. It was established before 1066 and after being largely in the possession of Fountains Abbey in the Middle Ages, it became part of a landed estate until the mid 20th century. It has a significant conservation area and a nature reserve of international importance. This, named Wheldrake Ings, is a mile east of the village, and is where many wild flowers flourish and rare birds prosper.
  Most of the employed people who live in the village commute to work. There is a primary school, a church, a shop with post office and a public house which serve 761 households.
  There is a small industrial estate near the western approach to the village.
context_section_description: Wheldrake with Thorganby C of E (Aided) Primary School caters for children up to the age of 11. The school moved to its present location on North Lane in 1973  from White Rose House, which can be found next door to the Church on Main Street.  The school has recently constructed an extension as the catchment area has seen an increase in the number of younger children and the original building became too small. Older pupils usually attend Fulford School in York.
