Real property: £5,595. Population: 437. Houses: 84. Population of the [St. Saviour] portion, 225; of the [St. Cuthbert] portion, 135; of the [St. Olave-Marygate] portion, 177.

Heworth was until 1894 a township and civil parish whose boundaries extended both inside and outside the boundaries of the City of York in Yorkshire, England. It was located about 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of the city centre. In 1894, when urban and rural communities were given different definitions (see Local Government Act 1894), the area outside the city boundary (with houses numbering 38) became a separate civil parish named Heworth Without. The new parish became part of the Flaxton Rural District. The urban part of the parish retained the name Heworth but was absorbed into the City of York which was then a county borough.
In 1934 a population of 305 was transferred from Heworth Without into Heworth and in 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, the remainder of Heworth Without parish became part of the Ryedale District in North Yorkshire, England until 1996. Since 1996 it has been part of the City of York unitary authority. According to the 2001 UK census the parish had a population of 8,754, reducing to 8,428 at the 2011 UK Census.

Research tips
-
- This is by far the most complete history of the parishes of the North Riding to be found online. The volumes are divided into sections by wapentake (early divisions of the county) and the parishes within each wapentake follow in alphabetical order. The links above open to the indexes covering all the wapentakes in the volume.
- GENUKI has a page on all three ridings of Yorkshire and pages for each of the ancient or ecclesiastical parishes in the county. Under each ancient parish there is a list of the settlements (townships and chapelries) within it and brief description of each. Many of these secondary settlements became civil parishes during the latter half of the 19th century.
- These notes are based on a gazetteer dated 1835 and there may have been a number of alterations to the parish setup since then. However, it is worthwhile information for the pre civil registration era. GENUKI provides references to other organizations who hold genealogical information for the local area. There is no guarantee that the website has been kept up to date and the submitter is very firm about his copyright, but this should not stop anyone from reading the material.
- The FamilyTree Wiki has a series of pages similar to those provided by GENUKI which may have been prepared at a later date. The wiki has a link to English Jurisdictions 1851 which gives the registration district and wapentake for each parish, together with statistics from the 1851 census for the area.
- A Vision of Britain through Time, Yorkshire North Riding, section "Units and Statistics" leads to analyses of population and organization of the county from about 1800 through 1974. There are pages available for all civil parishes, municipal boroughs and other administrative divisions which also include historical population and area statistics. Descriptions provided are usually based on a gazetteer of 1870-72.

- Another provider of maps is the National Library of Scotland. In this index the Scottish provision precedes the English one, but the choice of maps for England is still quite vast.
- Yorkshire has a large number of family history and genealogical societies. A list of the societies will be found on the Yorkshire, England page.
- In March 2018 Ancestry announced that its file entitled "Yorkshire, England: Church of England Parish Records, 1538-1873" has been expanded to include another 94 parishes (across the three ridings) and expected it to be expanded further during the year. The entries are taken from previously printed parish registers.
