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.

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.

Thornton Dale railway station was situated on the North Eastern Railway's Pickering to Seamer branch line. It served the village of Thornton-le-Dale in North Yorkshire, England. The station opened to passenger traffic on 1 May 1882, and closed on 3 June 1950. The trains first arrived in the village in 1839 but the Pickering-Scarborough branch was not completed here until 1882. After regular service began, some agricultural workers left the area on the train, seeking paid jobs elsewhere. The station remained open for freight traffic to Pickering after the rest of the Forge Valley Line was closed and pulled up. A daily train took limestone (brought by lorry from a quarry north of the village) to Pickering from where it was taken forwards to Skinningrove Ironworks. Unfortunately the quarry company lost the contract to supply the ironworks and this traffic ceased by 1964. The last traffic into the station was two Presflo wagons of bulk cement for repairs to the village hall. Shortly afterwards two Wickham Railmotors from Pickering visited the line to check that all the fences were stock-proof and in due course contractors arrived and removed the track. The station building was cleared and converted into offices for a company building a (short lived) gas pipeline to Pickering. Subsequently, the property was used as a caravan park and the station was eventually converted into three holiday rental cottages.
