Levisham is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, located within the North York Moors National Park about north of Pickering. At the 2011 Census the population was less than 100. Details are included in the civil parish of Lockton.
==History== The village is recorded as a very small settlement in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name of the village was first recorded in 1086 as Leuecen, and it derives from Old Norse, meaning the ''farmstead of Leofgeat's people''. The village is believed to have moved location due to the Black Death in the 14th century. The Church of St Mary, a grade II* listed building which dates to the 11th century, is now isolated from the current village, and is thought to mark the site of a Deserted Medieval Village. The church fell into disuse in the 1950s, though burials continue, and the main place of Anglican worship is the Church of St John the Baptist, which is in Levisham village, some away from St Mary's.
