In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Arden like this:
ARDEN-WITH-ARDENSIDE, a township in Hawnby parish, N. R. Yorkshire; 7½ miles NW of Helmsley. Acres, 4,513. Pop., 129. Houses, 25. The surface is chiefly part of Humbleton moor. A Benedictine nunnery was founded here in 1150; but has disappeared.
Arden is now part of NORTH YORKSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH YORKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Arden itself, go to Statistics.
