North Cowton
The head of the manor is noted as Gilling and lands before the Norman conquest belonged to Earl Edwin and Ulf.After 1086 the lands were granted to Count Alan of Brittany, with a small allocation to Godric, the steward and an unnamed individual.[3][2] On 22 August 1138 the English armies defeated the Scottish at nearby Cowton Moor in the Battle of the Standard.[2] The disbanded Eryholme-Richmond branch line passed nearby with a former railway station at Moulton End, around ¼ of a mile from North Cowton.[13] It is within the catchment area of Richmond School and Sixth Form College for secondary education, to the age of eighteen.There is also a village hall, football pitch, tennis court, two children's playgrounds, a bus stop, a war memorial, two public telephone boxes, two community notice boards and two postboxes.
