Thrintoft is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated close to the River Swale, 3 miles (5 km) west of Northallerton. Thrintoft is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being in the possession of Picot of Lascelles. One of his descendants, Roger de Lascelles, gifted the village to St Mary's Abbey in York around 1146. The name derives from Old Norse and is registered in the Domesday Book as Tirnetofte. It is believed to mean the thorn-bush by (or in) the field. Historically in the parish of Ainderby Steeple, which lies 1-mile (1.6 km) to the south, it became its own parish in 1866 and now contains the hamlet of Little Langton. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. Whilst the parish has a population of 185, North Yorkshire County Council estimated that the population of the village was 140 at the 2011 census and remained at that number in 2015. The village is recorded as having a corn mill in 1539, which led to the stream flowing south west through the settlement into the River Swale being named Mill Beck. The chapel of St Mary Magdalen, now a barn, was built during the 13th to 15th centuries. It was endowed in 1253 as a chantry chapel connected to Jervaulx Abbey and is a grade II* listed building. The chapel is the only surviving building from Thrintoft Grange. The village has a pub, The New Inn.

Morton-on-Swale Village Hall

Morton-on-Swale Village Hall is a historic building in Morton-on-Swale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in 1815 as a Wesleyan Methodist Church. In 1927, it was closed, due to low attendance, and sold to the owner of Ainderby Hall. In 1936, it was sold to four local people, who converted it into a parish hall, with the entrance moved to the side of the building. It was used for a variety of recreational purposes until 1957, when it was leased to North Yorkshire County Council and used for the education of children and adults with additional needs, although it remained used by the local community in the evenings. The council constructed an extension with a kitchen and toilet, and added a false ceiling in the main hall, converting the balcony into a loft. In the 2000s and 2010s the building was renovated, the work including a new roof, replacement windows, and the removal of the false ceiling. The building has been Grade II listed since 1986. The hall is constructed of red brick, and has a hipped Welsh slate roof with cast iron cresting and finials. It has two storeys and three bays, the central bay with a recessed arch, and the windows have round-arched heads. The ground floor window in the centre has a stuccoed rusticated surround and a dated double keystone, and above it is a stone panel.

Morton Bridge

Morton Bridge is a historic structure connecting Morton-on-Swale and Scruton, two villages in North Yorkshire, in England. A ferry across the River Swale at the location was first recorded in 1317. By the 16th century, John Leland recorded a wooden bridge in the village. The current bridge was constructed between 1800 and 1803, by John Carr, at a cost of £8,240 10s. It was grade II listed in 1986. Brian Wragg and Giles Worsley describe it as "a very architectural conception" with "ashlar and rustication in profusion". It carries what is now the A684 road. The bridge is built of stone, and consists of four segmental arches with voussoirs and hood moulds. There are three polygonal rusticated cutwaters rising to canted pedestrian refuges. The bridge has a band and a parapet, flanking the end arches are pilasters, and at the ends are round piers with hemispherical caps.
