ATWICK MANOR

Identity: confirmed — The National Archives Manorial Documents Register record F236315 is explicitly for Atwick Manor in Atwick, Yorkshire. Independent local evidence identifies Atwick Hall as the manor-associated hall in the same parish: a historical Kelly's directory records the owner of Atwick Hall as lady of the manor. No competing same-named Atwick manor was found.
Representative point: 53.9414, -0.1835
Basis: documented_manor_house — Atwick Hall, also styled Atwick Hall Farm, is the identified manor-associated hall. The point is an approximate WGS84 conversion of the modern Atwick Hall, Cliff Road, YO25 8DF location/postcode centroid; it should not be treated as a surveyed building centroid.
Point confidence: medium
Boundary status: representative_point_only
Boundary period:
Boundary confidence: none
Boundary basis: Available evidence establishes the manor-associated hall and the general historical landscape of Atwick, including North Field, Lord's Field, Mask, South Field, Criftins, and later enclosure of commonable lands in 1772. It does not provide a manor-specific perimeter or identify which parcels constituted the legal manorial extent. The Atwick parish boundary and the documented open-field landscape cannot safely be substituted for the manor boundary.

Warnings / uncertainty:
- The representative coordinate is based on the Atwick Hall/YO25 8DF address area rather than a published surveyed coordinate for the historic manor house.
- No reliable manor-specific historical map, estate plan, rental map, or explicit boundary description was located; no polygon is returned.
- The documented Atwick fields and 1772 common-land enclosure describe the parish landscape, not necessarily the territorial extent of Atwick Manor.
