Etymology
'Village of the English,' from OE Engle and by. There are three places in this district so called and they probably all denote isolated survivals of English inhabitants amid a pre- vailing Scandinavian population. For similar types, cf. Normanby and Danby 57, 117, 157, 226 and 131, 249, 276 supra .
