Sherburn in Elmet is a market-town-sized village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, sitting on fertile lowland between York and Leeds and close to Selby. Its name recalls the old Brittonic kingdom of Elmet, and the settlement has historic roots visible in its medieval church and market-town pattern, while the surrounding agricultural landscape and patchwork of hedged fields still shape the feel of the parish.
Today Sherburn in Elmet combines a local centre of shops and community groups with light industry and an industrial estate, and many residents commute to nearby cities. A notable local landmark is the former RAF airfield at Church Fenton, now used for civilian aviation, and the village hosts regular community events and clubs that underline its strong local identity despite being within easy reach of larger urban centres.
