High Ellington was historically, with Low Ellington, a township in the ancient parish of Masham in the North Riding of Yorkshire.[3] At the time of the Domesday Book it was in the possession of Count Alan of Brittany.[4] It became a civil parish in 1866, then known as Ellingtons. In 1886 Sutton was transferred to the parish from Healey with Sutton.[5]

The parish now shares a grouped parish council, known as Masham Parish Council, with Masham, Burton on Yore and Swinton with Warthermarske.[6]
