Thirn

Thirn is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated close to the River Ure, about 3 mi south-west of Bedale.

The hamlet of Thirn is mentioned in the Domesday Book, and the name derives from the Old English þyrne, meaning thorn-bush. Historically the hamlet was in the ecclesiastical parish of Thornton Watlass, in the wapentake of Hang East.

There is a former Wesleyan Chapel which is located on the road to Thornton Watlass, and a former public house (The Boot & Shoe).
