In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bainbridge like this:
BAINBRIDGE, a village and a township in Aysgarth parish, N. R. Yorkshire. The village stands on the river Ure, 1½ mile SW of Askrigg; and has a post office under Bedale. Here are a three-arched bridge, two dissenting chapels, a free grammar school, and the Askrigg workhouse. Here also was the Roman station Bracchinm. ...
Traces of the rampart of the Roman camp, enclosing an area of about 5 acres, may be seen on the Borough Hill in the vicinity; some substructions of buildings occur at the foot of the same hill; and a statue of the Emperor Commodus was found in the neighbourhood.-The township includes also the hamlets of Counterside, Marside, Carr-End, Stalling-Busk, High and Low Blean, and Cubeck and Morton. Acres, 14,983. Real property, £8,185. Pop., 807. Houses, 160.
