All Saints' Church is an Anglican church in Crathorne, North Yorkshire, a village in England. There was a church on the site before the Norman Conquest, with some work done in the 12th century. It was entirely rebuilt in the 14th century, reusing some earlier fragments. The chancel was partly rebuilt and increased in height in 1844, while in 1888, the building was heavily restored by C. Hodgson Fowler, with a tower and porch added, and further work on the chancel and nave. Several Saxon stones were discovered when rebuilding the west wall, and almost all were reset into the interior walls, to display them. The building was grade II* listed in 1966. The church is built of sandstone with Lakeland slate roofs, and consists of a nave, a chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, gargoyles, an embattled parapet, and a short leaded pyramidal spire with a ball finial and a weathervane. The windows in the nave have pointed heads, those in the chancel and tower have flat heads, and the east and west windows contain Decorated tracery. Inside are two effigies, one claimed to be of William de Crathorne, who died in 1346, and one of a deacon.

Picton, North Yorkshire
Picton, North Yorkshire

Picton is a hamlet and civil parish located in the north of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles (6 km) south from Yarm, 8 miles (13 km) south from Middlesbrough, and just over 1 mile (1.6 km) west from the A19 road. The name of the village derives from Old English and means "Pica's farm or settlement." Up until the 1850s, the village was spelt as Pickton with the old spelling being cut into the Picton Liberty stone which marked the boundary between the parishes of Picton and Kirklevington. The parish is in the Hambleton District and had a population of 108 according to the 2001 census, increasing to 135 at the 2011 Census. It lies just south of the border with the Stockton-on-Tees unitary authority. A stream which lies east of the village is called the Picton Stell.Every year Picton holds a show on the third Saturday in July. The event has horse, dog, craft and horticulture competitions, and traditional games and races for children. There is also a bar, and stalls for refreshment and entertainment. This village contains The Station public house and a small disused church, the grade II listed Church of St Hilary, which was abandoned in 2004 due to structural problems. The Station pub takes its name from the railway station that was just east of the village on the Northallerton to Eaglescliffe line. The station was also a junction for trains on the Picton to Battersby line. The station was closed to passengers in 1960 and to goods in 1964.
