This claim is unverifiable as stated because it does not identify which specific village in North Yorkshire is being referenced.

• North Yorkshire contains over 700 parishes and more than 800 communities ranging from small hamlets to large market towns¹.
• The claim uses the definite article "The" but fails to name the village, making it impossible to verify which specific settlement is being described.
• There are villages in North Yorkshire with populations of approximately 800, such as Middleham (825 in the 2011 census, estimated at 816 in 2024)²³, Huby in Harrogate District (population 800 in 2021)⁴, and Whitley (population 793 in 2021)⁴.
• However, many other villages in North Yorkshire have populations significantly larger or smaller than 800.

Without knowing which specific village the claim refers to, its accuracy cannot be determined.
