In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Harwood Dale like this:
HARWOOD-DALE, a township-chapelry in Hackness parish, N. R. Yorkshire; among the moors, 8 miles SE of Goathland r. station, and 9 NW of Scarborongh. Post town, Hackness, under Scarborongh. Acres, 5, 557. Real property, £2, 582. Pop., 214. Houses, 36. Most of the land is moor and waste, and part of the rest is pasture. The living is a vicarage annexed to the rectory of Hackness, in the diocese of York. The church was rebuilt in 1862; consists of nave and apse, with spiral bell turret; and was preceded by one erected, in the time of Charles II., by Sir T. P. Hoby.
