The name is derived from the parish church, dedicated to St Patrick, and the Fleming family, the local landowners who resided at Redhall.^[1] The medieval parish church was given to Gisborough Priory in Cleveland by Robert de Brus, Lord of Annandale, around 1170, though this connection lapsed after 1330.^[1] The present church dates to the 18th century and is protected as a category B listed building.^[2]
