Tanton is a hamlet in the civil parish of Stokesley, North Yorkshire, England.[1] Tanton is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being in the Hundred of Langbaurgh, and having land belonging to three owners.[3] In the 13th century, William de Mowbray owned a water-mill on the Tame in the hamlet.[5] The hamlet is represented at the Houses of Parliament as part of the Richmond Constituency.[6] Tanton Bridge, a grade II listed structure built in the 18th century, was widened in 2020 to cope with increased traffic and larger vehicles.
