All Saints' Church is the parish church of Thornton-le-Dale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was rebuilt in the early 14th century, from which period the nave and part of the chancel survive. A tower was added late in the century. Between 1865 and 1866, the chancel and vestry were rebuilt, the nave was restored and all the windows were replaced, the work being by Edward Wyndham Tarn. A porch was added in 1900. The building was grade II* listed in 1953. The church is built of sandstone with a stone flagged roof, and consists of a nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel and vestry, and a west tower. The tower has four stages, diagonal buttresses, string courses, and a west window with a pointed arch, three lights and a hood mould. On the second stage are clock faces, the bell openings have two lights, and above is an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. Inside, there are a 14th-century piscina and sedilia. There are several 17th- and 18th-century memorials, and a canopied tomb with a figure of a woman with a dog at her feet, the woman possibly being Beatrice Hastings, who died around 1320.

The Hall, Thornton-le-Dale

The Hall is a historic building in Thornton-le-Dale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A house on the site was first recorded in 1335, but it was in ruins by 1380. The current building may contain some mediaeval material, but it largely dates from about 1680. The main front was redesigned in the 18th century, and a service wing was added late that century. In the early 19th century, the windows were altered and a porch was added, then the current entrance was added in the 20th century. The building was converted into a nursing home late that century, and was grade II* listed in 1953. The building is constructed of sandstone on a plinth, with quoins and slate roofs. The garden front has two storeys, a central range of three bays, and flanking two-bay cross-wings with hipped roofs. In the centre is a Doric porch with a pediment, the windows are sashes in architraves, and at the top is a panelled parapet. The entrance front has a five-bay range, with a projecting seven-bay range to the right, and in the angle is a porch. The windows in the right range have lintels with keystones, and on the range is a bellcote. Inside, there is a 17th-century staircase with contemporary panelling, and a large 19th-century fireplace in the central ground floor room. The former stable block was completed in the early or mid 18th century, and is grade II listed. It is built of sandstone, with chamfered quoins, a moulded eaves course, and a pantile roof with coped gables and shaped kneelers. It has two storeys and is five bays wide. In the centre of the front is a round-arched doorway with quoins, voussoirs and a radial fanlight. On the ground floor are sash windows with flat arches of voussoirs, and the upper floor has various small windows. The rear has a carriage arch, doorways and pivoting windows, and on the gable end facing the street are external steps leading to a doorway.
