Welburn is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, in England, 2 miles south-west of Kirkbymoorside and about 24 miles from York. The population of the parish was estimated at 60 in 2012.[1] As the population of the civil parish was less than 100 it was not separately counted in the 2011 census and was included with the civil parish of Wombleton.
The civil parish includes the lower part of Kirkdale, including Kirkdale Cave and the parish church of St Gregory's Minster, both about 0.6 miles (1 km) north of the village. The Slingsby Aviation works and airstrip lie south-east of the village.
Welburn was historically a township in the parish of Kirkdale[2] and became a civil parish in 1866. In 1870–72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Welburn like this:
- "WELBURN, a township in Kirkdale parish, N. R. Yorkshire; 5 miles E of Helmsley. Acres, 1,582. Real property, £2,846. Pop., 121. Houses, 20."[3]
