History

Healey was historically a township in the large ancient parish of Masham in the North Riding of Yorkshire. It became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1849. The civil parish of Healey with Sutton was formed in 1866. Sutton consisted of a few farms (High Sutton, Low Sutton, Sutton Penn and Sutton Grange) 2 miles (3 km) northeast of Healey, and was transferred to the neighbouring parish of Ellington in 1886. In 1934 3,213 acres (1,300 ha) of the uninhabited Masham Moor (which had been common to the parishes of Masham and East Witton) were added to the civil parish which, since Sutton has been transferred out, was then renamed Healey.
