Meanings

proper noun
  1. A small town and civil parish with a town council in North Yorkshire, England, previously in Richmondshire district (OS grid ref SE1287).

    Middleham resists definition: it is a village because it covers a single parish; but local people prefer to think of it as a town, and its parish council has the status of a town council.
