Coneythorpe: what to know before moving day
The Tiger Inn on Shortsill Lane has stood in the village since the 19th century. After fires in 2020 and 2023 it was bought in 2024 by the Oglesby family of nearby Goldsborough Hall, and it is the obvious landmark to give. Around it, OpenStreetMap shows Shortsill Lane, Moor Lane, Clareton Lane, Brunton Lane and Lidget Lane, with Tate's Plantation and open farmland beyond.
Coneythorpe was a township of Goldsborough parish, became its own civil parish in 1866 and merged with Clareton in 1888. The nearest village primary school is in Goldsborough, which takes pupils from Coneythorpe, Allerton, Hopperton and Flaxby.
