Langbaurgh_(wapentake)
Langbaurgh Wapentake
Former administrative division of Yorkshire, England
Langbaurgh /lɑːŋɡbɑːrθ/[1] was a liberty or wapentake of the North Riding of Yorkshire. It covered an area of the shire's north-eastern tip. The wapentake took its name from Langbaurgh hamlet, in present-day Great Ayton parish.[2]
The name was re-used for the non-metropolitan district of Langbaurgh, later Langbaurgh-on-Tees, created in 1974, which covered the area of the eastern division. It has been known since 1996 as the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland.
