DERWENT (The) a river of Yorkshire. It rises in the Moors, 3 miles from the sea, and 7 S by E of Whitby; runs 14 miles southward to the boundary between the north and east ridings, 2½ miles W of Willerby; then goes 24 miles south-westward, along that boundary, past Malton, Crambe, and Bossall, to the vicinity of Gate-Helmsley; then proceeds 18½ miles southward, past Catton, Elvington, Thorganby, Bubwith, and Wressel, to the Ouse, at Barnaby-on-the-Marsh. It is navigable to Malton.
