History
The inner court of the monastery contained buildings such as the brewhouse, bakehouse and guesthouse. Its name originated as Rye (the river) + Norman-French val or valle = "valley".[2] Its old local pronunciation was as "Rivers", and changed to "Reevo" when education brought a general familiarity with the French language.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a grade II listed building converted by the architect Temple Moore in 1906.[7] The building was formerly the slipper chapel to the abbey.[8] A slipper chapel was a small building where pilgrims would remove their footwear before completing their pilgrimage into a cathedra, or place of worship.[9]
When he was raised to the House of Lords in 1983, former prime minister Harold Wilson took the title Baron Wilson of Rievaulx,[10] but chose to pronounce it Rivers (see above).[11]
Governance
Historically the village was in the wapentake of Ryedale, and in the ecclesiastical parish of Helmsley, in the North Riding. It was latterly in the Helmsley Rural District and was moved into the North Riding of Yorkshire in 1974.[12][13] The village is in its own civil parish, but population statistics were assessed in 2011 as part of Sproxton Parish.[14] In 2015, North Yorkshire County Council estimated the population of Rievaulx to be 90.[1] Rievaulx is represented at Westminster as part of the Thirsk and Malton Constituency.[15]
