The name Sinnington probably derives from the Old English Seveningtūn meaning 'settlement associated with the River Seven'.
The nineteenth century agricultural writer, William Marshall, was born here in 1745.{{cite web |url = http://eh.net/encyclopedia/article/stead.marshall |title = EH.Net Encyclopedia: William Marshall |publisher = eh.net |access-date = 26 May 2009 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091002111148/http://eh.net/encyclopedia/article/stead.marshall |archive-date = 2 October 2009 |df = dmy-all The village was formerly served by a railway station on the Gilling and Pickering (G&P) railway line which opened in 1875 and closed on 31 January 1953 for both passengers and freight.
Typical of the area are the medieval cruck-built longhouses of Sinnington. These were constructed as single storey combined dwelling and beast houses and made of the local Jurassic limestone. Originally they had ling thatched roofs, but they were mostly re-roofed in the 19th century with grey slate or red pantiles. All Saints' Church, Sinnington, has in its fabric an assemblage of dozens of fragments of pre-Norman crosses and hogback fragments scattered all over the building, inside and out. It appears that several - perhaps the numbers even reach double figures - significant crosses were broken up in order to provide building stone for the twelfth-century workers who built the church. |url=http://web.ukonline.co.uk/cj.tolley/ctm/ctm-sinnington.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080706192611/http://web.ukonline.co.uk/cj.tolley/ctm/ctm-sinnington.htm |archive-date=6 July 2008 |title=Pre-Norman Stone Crosses in the British Isles - Sinnington |website=Crossing the Millennia |access-date=23 February 2015 |date=February 2003 |last=Tolley |first=Chris
Catherine Parr was resident in the manor of Sinnington, as Lady Latimer, between 1534 and 1543. She was the second wife of John Neville, 3rd Baron Latimer. The manor in nearby Nunnington was owned by her brother William Parr. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/Sinnington_Barrow_located_in_a_Barrow_Cemetery_in_North_Yorkshire.jpg" caption="A [[lidar]] view of Sinnington Bronze Age round barrow which is located in a barrow cemetery"] ::
