MENSTONE, a township, with a village, in Otley parish, W. R. Yorkshire; under Rumbolds-Moor, 3 miles SW of Otley. Acres, 1,132. Real property, £2,017. Pop. in 1851,449; in 1861,318. Houses, 70. The decrease of pop. was caused by the substitution of machine-combing for hand-combing in worsted factories. The manor belongs to F. H. Fawkes, Esq. There are a room used for church service and a Wesleyan chapel.
