Copmanthorpe
Copmanthorpe is a small town in the unitary authority of City of York in the north of England, south west of York, Yorkshire, west of Bishopthorpe and close to Acaster Malbis, Askham Bryan and Askham Richard.
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Copemantorp. It was the site of a preceptory[?] of the Knights Templar, on land given to the Templar Knights by the Malbis family (see Acaster Malbis). In 1672 the manor was sold to the Wood family. Copmanthorpe became a Conservation Area in 1978.
