==History==
Now similar to [[Fyllingsdalen]], Fylingdales was recorded as Figclinge in the 11th century, Figelinge, Figelingam and Fielinge in the 11th and 12th centuries and possibly as Saxeby in the 12th century. The name derives from ''Fygla's people.''<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ekwall |first1=Eilert |author-link=Eilert Ekwall |title=The concise Oxford dictionary of English place-names |date=1960 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford |oclc=1228215388 |page=190 |edition=4}}</ref> It was a  parochial [[chapelry]] south of Whitby and contained the villages of [[Robin Hood's Bay]] and Thorpe, or Fylingthorpe (which was recorded as Prestethorpe in the 13th century) and the hamlets of Normanby, Parkgate, [[Ramsdale Beck|Ramsdale]], [[Raw, North Yorkshire|Raw]] (Fyling Rawe, 16th century) and Stoupe Brow.

[[Fyling Old Hall]] is in Fylingthorpe not far from the Fyling [[Stream|Beck]] and was leased by the abbey in 1539. It is built in [[sandstone]] with a [[slate]] roof and [[mullion]]ed windows. Sir Hugh Cholmley sold Fyling Hall in 1634 to Sir John Hotham whose descendants held the estate including the hall and mill until the 18th century.<ref name=vch/>

The moor within the parishes of Fylingdales and [[Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre]] is managed by the ancient Manor of Fyling [[Court Leet]]. Courts Leet can be traced to Norman times, and the Manor of Fyling Court Leet was mentioned and recognised in the Administration of Justices Act 1977 to continue to transact the "Management of the Commons in the Manor".<ref name="FCL">{{cite web|title=Fyling Court Leet|url=http://fylingcourtleet.org/|publisher=Fyling Court Leet|accessdate=17 November 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170913051904/http://fylingcourtleet.org/|archive-date=13 September 2017|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
