St Mary's Church is a Catholic church in Crathorne, North Yorkshire, a village in England. Although some sources say that the church was built in 1777, a document from 1816 states that a different building was in use as the Catholic chapel at the time, having been converted from a cowhouse. The current building was constructed between 1820 and 1821, and is one of the earliest Catholic chapels in the region. A porch was added after World War II. The building is attached to the 18th-century former priest's house, which is now a private house. The building was restored in the mid-1960s, and was grade II* listed in 1966. The building is constructed of light red brick, with bracketed eaves, and a Welsh slate roof with stone gable coping. There is a single storey, and along the side are three windows with a roll-moulded surrounds and Tudor arched heads, and a sill band. The porch is to the southwest. Inside the church is Gothick decoration and fittings, a gallery at the west end, and box pews. The plasterwork is particularly rich, and is believed to have originally been painted in bright colours, and to have been created by Italian craftworkers.

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.
