East Rigton
East Rigton is a hamlet in West Yorkshire, England, immediately to the east of Bardsey. Etymology. The name of East Rigton is first attested in the Domesday Book, as "Riston", "Ritone", and "Ritun". The name comes from the Old Norse word "hryggr" ('ridge'), which had come into more general use in Old English, and the straightforwardly Old English word "tūn" ('farmstead, estate'). The additional element "east" is first attested in 1530, in the form "Est Ryghton".
