I have found the longest place name in England is Blakehopeburnhaugh but it is not in Yorkshire, any thoughts? Thanks

[Minoru]

How about Sutton Under Whitestone Cliff near Thirsk ?

Seems to be a debate on the hyphens in the name but as it says Yorkshire I've gone for sutton-under-whitestonecliff

I lived near Sutton for several years and I always understood it had the longest name in Yorkshire. (good pub,excellent meals)
