Thrintoft is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being in the possession of Picot of Lascelles.^[3] One of his descendants, Roger de Lascelles, gifted the village to St Mary's Abbey in York around 1146.^[4] The name derives from Old Norse and is registered in the Domesday Book as Tirnetofte. It is believed to mean the thorn-bush by (or in) the field.^[5]

Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalen

Historically in the parish of Ainderby Steeple, which lies 1-mile (1.6 km) to the south,^[6] it became its own parish in 1866^[7] and now contains the hamlet of Little Langton.^[1] Whilst the parish has a population of 185, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the population of the village was 140 at the 2011 census and remained at that number in 2015.^[8]

The village is recorded as having a corn mill in 1539, which led to the stream flowing south west through the settlement into the River Swale being named Mill Beck.^[9] The chapel of St Mary Magdalen, now a barn, was built during the 13th to 15th centuries. It was endowed in 1253 as a chantry chapel connected to Jervaulx Abbey and is a grade II* listed building.^[10] The chapel is the only surviving building from Thrintoft Grange.^[11]

The village has a pub, The New Inn.^[2]
