Low Burton was the location of Masham railway station from 1875 to 1963. Low Burton Hall dates back to the 15th century.[2] It was the 15th century home of the Wyvill family, before they became lords of Constable Burton.[3]

Nutwith Cote was a grange of Fountains Abbey. The present farmhouse dates from the 17th century, and is a Grade II* listed building.[4]

Burton-on-Yore was historically a township in the ancient parish of Masham in the North Riding of Yorkshire.[5] It became a separate civil parish in 1866.[6] In 1974 the parish was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire. The parish now shares a grouped parish council, known as Masham Parish Council, with Masham, Swinton with Warthermarske and Ellington High and Low.[7]
