Kilton Thorpe is a village in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England.[1] Noted for evidence of early settlement. The outlines of an ancient village are visible in fields adjacent to the present village.[2]
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Count Mortain.[3] Like other lands in the surrounding area, it was owned by the same noble families as those who owned nearby Kilton Castle. It was only a small settlement across two manors until the arrival of the ironstone industry when 30 workers cottages were built.[4][5]
