Cleveland Tontine

The Cleveland Tontine is a historic building in Ingleby Arncliffe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. In the early 19th century, a turnpike was constructed from Crathorne, to join the existing road from Thirsk to Stokesley. A group of investors decided that the junction of the two roads would be a good location for a coaching inn. They funded it with subscriptions to a tontine, which totalled £2,500. From 1827 to 1843, it was a stop for the Cleveland stagecoach, from Leeds to Redcar; from 1823 to 1830 by the Expedition, from Leeds to Newcastle upon Tyne; and from 1833 to 1840 for the Mail from Leeds to South Shields. Various shorter-lived routes also called. Before 1923, the building was converted into a private home, Ingleby House. After World War II it became a hotel and restaurant. It was purchased by Provenance Inns in 2016, which spent £1,000,000 increasing the number of bedrooms from 7 to 21. In 2025, it closed for conversion into a wedding venue and cookery school. It lies at the junction of what are now the A19 and A172 roads. The building was grade II listed in 1952. The inn is built of sandstone, the rear wing whitewashed, with hipped Lakeland slate roofs. It has two storeys and a basement, a front of five bays, and a rear wing. In the centre, a perron leads to a doorway with engaged columns, a radial fanlight in an archivolt, and a pediment, above which is a tripartite window. The outer bays contain canted bay windows, and most of the other windows are sashes. In the west wing are mullioned and transomed windows. Inside, there are three early fireplaces with original iron grates, plus a fireplace in the basement dating from about 1600, and moved from elsewhere.

Ingleby Arncliffe Water Tower

Ingleby Arncliffe Water Tower is a historic structure in Ingleby Arncliffe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The tower was commissioned by Sir Hugh Bell, chair of the Tees Valley Water Board. A local story claims that Bell commissioned it over concerns that the local water supply would be interrupted during World War I. The tower is fed from a spring in the Cleveland Hills, about one mile away, and is stored in the tower, originally able to feed standpipes on demand. It was designed by Walter Brierley, and was completed in 1915. The building was grade II listed in 1990. It now feeds one cottage and some cattle troughs. Inside the base of the tower are stored a fire engine dating from about 1870, and an earlier funeral bier. The water tower is built of sandstone on a stepped and chamfered plinth, with quoins, a double corbel table, gargoyles, an embattled parapet, and a stone-flagged saddleback roof. There are three storeys, and the tower contains a doorway with a chamfered moulded surround, and an inscribed and dated lintel. Above it is a panel containing an achievement and a motto. The tower is surrounded by a parterre of cobbles.
