Old milepost The route from Thirsk to Yarm was a tollroad first enacted in 1803.   This was eventually numbered A19 and that now by-passes Crathorne village.   From its style this milepost in the village may date from the end of the toll road era.  The only other milepost surviving from this time on this route is Thirsk 1 at SE42988283.

Crathorne Hall Nothing like as old is it looks - this in fact is the largest country house built in the reign of Edward VII.
Founded by the Dugdale family in around 1903, it stayed in the dynasty for 3 generations before becoming a hotel in the late 1970's.
Now a popular location for weddings.
The photograph shows the south facade overlooking the Leven Valley.
