The village and civil parish of Church Fenton sits in the district of Selby in North Yorkshire, roughly midway between York and Leeds. It is a largely rural community surrounded by farmland but punches above its weight thanks to good rail links and a distinctive aviation history centred on the former RAF base at Church Fenton airfield, now used for civilian flying and light industry.
Locally there’s a modest village centre with a church, pubs and active community groups; many residents commute to the nearby cities while agriculture still shapes the landscape, so the parish combines historic buildings and military heritage with a modern commuter and rural economy.
