North Deighton: what to know before moving day
Most of the listed houses here are built of limestone. The Old Hall, 17th century, has seven bays, a stone slate roof and a dovecote to its west; Dovecote Farmhouse is early 19th-century grey limestone; and The Manor, rendered with a hipped slate roof, is behind listed gate piers. Even the water pump near the Old Hall, dated 1836, is listed.
East of the village, Howe Hill is the mound of a motte-and-bailey castle from around the Norman Conquest, thought to be one of the burial places of soldiers from Marston Moor. The area was once part of the Royal Forest of Knaresborough and of the Ribston estate. On the map, homes sit along The Green, West View and School House Terrace, with Crimple Beck to the south-west.
How the van gets to North Deighton
The B6164, Knaresborough Road, runs through the village between Wetherby and Knaresborough. A minor road, Spofforth Lane, heads south-west to Spofforth, and Ox Close Lane runs east. From Wetherby, take the B6164 north through Kirk Deighton; the A58 links Bradford and Leeds with Wetherby.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Because it was in Kirk Deighton parish until 1866, when it became a civil parish of its own. The two villages are still only a short way apart on the B6164.
