Crambe is a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. It is near the River Derwent and 6 miles (10 km) south-west of Malton. The population as of the 2011 census was less than 100. Details are included in the civil parish of Whitwell-on-the-Hill. The village is located in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The father of the renowned mathematician Karl Pearson was born in the village.
Crambe is mentioned in the Domesday Book as "Cranbone" in the Bulford Hundred. There were two manors of land in the parish at that time. One belonged to Sumarlithi, son of Karli, which was passed to the King and then to Robert Brus, and the other to Earl Waltheof, which was given to Count Robert of Mortain following the execution in 1076 of the Earl. The lands have also been in the ownership of Walter Percehay, before both areas of land being joined at some time in the sixteenth century. From that time, the land has been owned by Thomas Bamburgh (of Howsham); Sir John Wentworth and his descendents to 1741; thence to the Cholmely family and to Sir George Strickland.
The name of the village is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word crumb, meaning "a bend in the river".
The village was served by Howsham railway station on the York to Scarborough Line between 1845 and 1849. though it is shown as "Crambe station" on Moule's 1850s maps of North and East Yorkshire.
