Hutton Conyers is now a civil parish but was formerly extra-parochial. It was situated in the northeast section of Ripon ancient parish on the left bank of the River Ure. It covers an area of about 3,211 acres all within the North Riding of Yorkshire. The town of Ripon was in the West Riding. (Source:Victoria County History which states it was in Allerton Wapentake).

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hotone in the Hallikeld Wapentake and was owned by Bishop of Durham St Cuthbert. Land ownership subsequently passed to the Conyers family, after whom the village derives its suffix. Thereafter it has passed through several notable local families, namely the Mallorys of Studley, the Aislabies, the Earl de Grey (1827-1909) and thence to the Marquess of Ripon (1852-1923) in the late 19th century.
Hutton Conyers was historically an extra-parochial area in the North Riding of Yorkshire. It became a civil parish in 1858, from 1894 part of Wath Rural District. In 1974 it was transferred to the Harrogate District of the new administrative county of North Yorkshire. In 1988 the parish absorbed the small civil parish of Nunwick cum Howgrave.
The wapentake in which Hutton Conyers was situated varies from source to source. Birdforth, Allerton and Hallikeld have all been cited.
The following description from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72 is provided by the website A Vision of Britain Through Time (University of Portsmouth Department of Geography).

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.
