Bulmer is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 174, increasing to 202 at the census 2011. The village is about seven miles south-west of Malton.
Bulmer was the seat of the ancient wapentake of the same name. The name Bulmer comes from "bull mere," a lake frequented by a bull.
The Bulmer family take their name from Bulmer. Ansketil de Bulmer is the first recorded member of the Bulmer family, who lived in the area in the twelfth century. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is recorded in 1066 as belonging to a Northmann and Ligulf. Tenancy was awarded by the King to Count Robert de Mortain, who passed the Lordship to Nigel Fossard. By the nineteenth century the lordship of the manor had passed to the Earls of Carlisle, whose residence was at nearby Castle Howard. A monument to George William Frederick Howard can be found on top of Bulmer Hill just outside the village.
The village lies within the Thirsk and Malton UK Parliament constituency. It is also within the Hovingham and Sheriff Hutton electoral division of North Yorkshire County Council. It is part of the Derwent ward of Ryedale District Council.
