Northallerton North Yorkshire – Northallerton is a market town and civil parish of England in the district of Hambleton, North Yorkshire . It is in the Mowbray Valley and its population amounts to about 16,000 people. It was formerly the capital of the North Riding of Yorkshire, and since 1974 it has become part of North Yorkshire.

Under the authority of the bishop, Northallerton became a major religious centre.
