Newton Morrell

Newton Morrell is a village and civil parish in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is 6 miles (9 km) from Darlington and 2 miles (3 km) from Junction 56 on the A1(M) motorway and 7 miles (11 km) north-east of Richmond. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Richmondshire, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. The village was described in the Domesday Book as belong to Count Alan and in the manor of Gilling. The name of the village derives from a combination of Old English (nīwe tūn) and a family surname of Morrell (from Old French meaning "dark and husky"). At the 2011 Census the population of the civil parish was less than 100. Information regarding this population is included in the parish of Cleasby. The village is very near Barton and Stapleton. Just to the south of the village is what has been designated as a medieval shrunken village. Earthworks are also present at this site.

St Cuthbert and St Mary's Church, Barton

St Cuthbert and St Mary's Church is the parish church of Barton, North Yorkshire, in England. In the medieval period, Barton was served by two churches: St Cuthbert, and St Mary. St Cuthbert fell into ruin, and then in 1840, a new St Cuthbert's Church was completed, to a design by Ignatius Bonomi. St Mary's Church was demolished, and St Cuthbert's was later dedicated to both Cuthbert and Mary. The church was Grade II listed in 1968. The church is built of stone, with a slate roof. It has a four-bay combined nave and chancel, a north vestry, a south chapel, and a southwest tower over a porch. The windows are largely lancets, and the nave and chancel are supported by stepped buttresses. The Victoria County History is critical of the design, describing the church as "architecturally... of no interest". Inside the church, the original pews survive, along with an original organ case on the north side of the chancel. There is an early 20th century reredos. Much of the stained glass dates from the 1840s, including the west window, by William Wailes. There is a Romanesque font, brought from St Mary's, and several monuments from the 17th century on. Outside, there is a possibly 11th century cross shaft, and a stone inscribed "W E MAY 1678", which was also brought from St Mary's.

The current building was constructed in the mid to late 17th century. A vestibule and reception hall were created in the 18th century. In the 20th century, a triangular extension was built in the angle of the rear right-hand range, and the roof was replaced. The house was grade II listed in 1968. In the 1980s, a secondary entrance was created, the kitchen was extended, and an orangery, master bedroom suite and roof terrace were added. In 2023, it was put up for sale for £1.95 million.

Middleton Lodge

Middleton Lodge is a Georgian Palladian mansion set within 200 acres (81 ha) of open countryside, on the outskirts of the village of Middleton Tyas, a mile or so off the A1 near Scotch Corner and a 15-minute drive from Darlington, County Durham. Middleton Lodge was designed by the architect John Carr, and was built between 1777–1780 for George Hartley Esquire. In recent years, the estate has undergone a sensitive restoration program, with new additions including The Fig House, designed by Rebecca Tappin. The Hartley family was one of the major land owning families in the area. George's father, Leonard Hartley, lived in East Hall, one of the larger houses in Middleton Tyas. The Hartleys continued to live in Middleton Lodge until the late 1870s. In 1890 The Hon. Mrs Margaret Dundas, widow of the Hon. John Charles Dundas, MP (1808–1866), is recorded as living there. She died in 1907. It was later the family home of coal owner Sir Arthur Pease, 1st Baronet, who died there in 1927. Middleton Lodge is still a family home to the Allison family, who have lived there since 1980. From 2006, the Main House has been available for exclusive private hire. In 2014, James Allison owner and partner Rebecca Tappin, opened the Coach House as a Restaurant with Rooms. Since then, The Fig House, designed by creative director Rebecca Tappin in the Walled Garden has been added as an additional wedding venue alongside the 2.5 acre Walled Garden designed by landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith. The Forest Spa, designed by Rebecca around the concept of forest bathing was added in 2023. Today the hotel comprises 2 restaurants, 2 wedding venues, 50 bedrooms across the orchard, potting sheds, dairy, and farmhouse, and a Spa and is renowned for its beautiful and sensitive renovation. In 2024, the hotel was awarded as the Top 10 Boutique hotel in the country. In 2025, the second restaurant, Forge, won a Michelin Star, to add to the Green Michelin Star awarded in 2024, and Young Chef of the Year award for head chef Jake Jones. It was the filming location for the television film Perfect Day and the Hindu-language children's film Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors.
