Bedlam, North Yorkshire

Bedlam is a small village in North Yorkshire, England situated north of Harrogate.

Its name most likely came from Anglo-Saxon "(æt) Botlum" = "at the buildings" (with a dative plural case ending), or its Old Norse equivalent, and not the same origin as Bedlam insane asylum.
