Claro was a wapentake of the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was split into two divisions. The Upper Division included the parishes of Farnham, Fewston, Hampsthwaite, Kirkby Malzeard and Pannal and parts of Aldborough, Knaresborough, Otley, Little Ouseburn, Ripley, Ripon, Wetherby and Whixley, many of which formed exclaves. The Lower Division included the parishes of Allerton Mauleverer, Goldsborough, Hunsingore, Kirk Deighton, Kirkby Overblow, Leathley, Spofforth with Stockeld, Weston and parts of Addingham, Aldborough, Harewood, Ilkley, Kirk Hammerton, Otley, Ripley and Whixley. At the time of the Domesday Book the wapentake was known as Burghshire, named from its meeting place at Aldborough. In the 12th century the name was changed to Claro, from Claro Hill near Coneythorpe, presumably its meeting place. Claro wapentake is exceptional because it is one of the few hundreds or wapentakes to have divisions with exclaves. The historic reasons for this situation are obscure but are likely based on patterns of settlement and transportation. The area of the wapentake falls almost entirely within the former district of Harrogate in North Yorkshire. Claro Registration District, existed from 1 January 1947 until 1 April 1974, when it was absorbed by the North Yorkshire district.

The Church of the Ascension is an Anglican church in the village of Whixley, North Yorkshire, England.

Up until it was renovated in the 19th century, it was dedicated to St James, but was rededicated as the Church of the Ascension, and it is now a grade II* listed building. Nikolaus Pevsner notes that it is unusual for a village church to be composed of mostly the same style of architecture (Decorated).

In 1848, it was described as "in the early English style, with a square embattled tower". It was demolished in the late 19th century, and a new church was constructed on a different site, but reusing most of the materials. It was designed by John Ladds again in the Early English style, and was consecrated in 1876. At the time, its vicar was the well-known musician John Robert Lunn, and Schubert's Mass No. 1 was performed at the consecration, claimed at the time to be its first performance in an Anglican church. The church was grade II listed in 1984. It is built in sandstone with a Welsh slate roof, and consists of a nave, a north porch, and a chancel with a south vestry. On the west gable is an open double bellcote. The north doorway incorporates a Norman doorhead, with a tympanum containing a cross in a roundel. Inside the church is a re-set Norman doorway with three orders of shafts. The window heads in the vestry are 14th century, as is the font, while one bell is believed to be 12th century.
