Flaxby is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is close to the A1 road and 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Knaresborough.
Flaxby was once part of the wapentake of Claro.[2] It is also part of the ecclesiastical parish of Goldsborough (St Mary).[3]
In 1994, an Early Iron Age farmstead of the 7th–6th centuries BC was discovered by archaeologists, but the site was abandoned until the late Roman period.[4]
