Yarm, market town and par. with ry. sta., North -Riding Yorkshire, on river Tees, 4 miles SW. of Stockton, 1229 ac., pop. 1485; P.O., T.O., Market-day, Thursday. Yarm had a black priory of 13th century, on the site of which is a modern mansion called The Fryerage. The trade of the place has declined on account of its proximity to Stockton. It has the Tees papermill, exports agricultural produce, and shares with Stockton in the salmon fishing in the Tees.
