Editing Heslington (section)

==History==
Heslington was likely an [[Angles (tribe)|Anglian]] settlement and is mentioned in the [[Domesday Book]].

[[Heslington Hall]] was built between 1565 and 1568 for Sir Thomas Eynns. In the 20th century it was owned by [[Richard de Yarburgh-Bateson, 6th Baron Deramore]], and was used as the headquarters for the [[Royal Air Force]]'s No. 4 (Bomber) Group from 1940&ndash;45.  It is now the administrative headquarters for the [[University of York]].

Heslington became a [[Conservation Area]] in 1969.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://her.york.gov.uk/api/LibraryLinkWebServiceProxy/FetchResource/109515/full_109515.pdf |title=Heslington Conservation Area Character Appraisal, April 2009 |page=2 |publisher=City of York Council |access-date=24 April 2023}}</ref>
