Charltons is a village in the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is 5 miles (8 km) south of Saltburn-by-the-Sea on the A171.

A third row of houses was demolished in the 1960s due to subsidence.

Margrove Park

Margrove Park is a village in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is at the eastern end of a broad valley extending eastwards from Nunthorpe and is about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Guisborough. The terraces of houses were built for the miners who worked the adjacent ironstone mine, which was called Stanghow Mine and closed in 1925. Prior to the arrival of ironstone mining, the area was a deer park probably belonging to the owners of Skelton Castle. During the nineteenth century, a brickworks was located in the settlement known as Squire Wharton's Brickworks. Margrove Park first appears in historical documents c. 1349 as Maugrey park with deer, and was part of the Langbaurgh Wapentake. The settlement used to be in the civil parish of Skelton-in-Cleveland and part of the Skelton & Brotton Urban District. In 1974, Margrove Park as part of the Skelton civil parish was moved into the County of Cleveland. It is now in the civil parish of Lockwood, and is represented at Westminster as part of the Middlesbrough and South East Cleveland Constituency. Margrove Ponds nature reserve is to the north of the settlement. The nature reserve is maintained by the Tees Valley Wildlife Trust, and the ponds are thought to have been created by the weight of shale heaps from the adjacent ironstone mine pressing down on the land.

Gisborough Hall

Gisborough Hall is a 19th-century mansion house, now a hotel, at Guisborough, Redcar and Cleveland, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The manor of Gisborough and the site of the dissolved Priory of Gisborough were acquired after the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Sir Thomas Chaloner in about 1558. He built a new manor house adjacent to the Priory ruins. His grandson was Sir William Chaloner, Bt. The manor house was demolished in the early 19th century when the family moved to Long Hull. In 1842 Admiral Thomas Chaloner inherited the estate and in 1856 created the present mansion house. The design of the hall is attributed to William Milford Teulon by Historic England, though his elder brother, Samuel Sanders Teulon is listed as the architect by the 1966 North Yorkshire edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides. The house, in Jacobean style, presents a main south front of two stories and attics behind balustrades, with seven bays, the central and two end bays being canted and gabled. On his death without issue, the Admiral left the estate to his great-nephew Richard Godolphin Walmesley Long (younger brother of Viscount Long) who in 1888 changed his surname to Chaloner. He was created Baron Gisborough in 1917 and died at the Hall in 1938. The family lived in the Hall until the Second World War when it was requisitioned by the Army. After the war, it was leased to North Riding Council as a nursing home. In 1972 it became a non-residential banqueting house and restaurant. In 2002, it was refurbished and extended by the family and now operates as a privately owned four-star Country House Hotel and wedding and conference venue with 71 bedrooms, the award-winning Chaloner's restaurant, De Brus Bar & Grill. The hall is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England as is the former stable block and its adjoining screen wall and gate piers to the west of the hall. The North and South lodges of the hall are also Grade II listed, as are the entrance gates and boundary walls to the south of the south lodge.
