Tollerton is a parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. Tollerton is situated close to both the A19 and the River Kyle about four miles south of Easingwold.
History
No date for the establishment of settlement of Tollerton has been determined but it was part of the old Royal Forest of Galtres until 1630. [Harper, Charles G., 1st ed. 1901, 2nd & revised ed. 1922 "The Great North Road" In two volumes: London to York & York to Edinburgh. London: Cecil Palmer.]
Amenities
Until recently, the village had a small railway halt, which was closed in the 1970s. Local landmarks include the railway itself, the "Black Horse" public house, the River Ouse and the nearby caravan park. There is also a Chinese restaurant called 'The Station Inn'.
Annually in August, the Tollerton Horticultural Show is held on the village recreation field. With exhibits including Home and Dairy, Farmers, Handicrafts, Photography and a Children's section, the show also includes fairground rides on the village green.
Every September, there is a mini horticultural show which is held in the "Black Horse" car park and which includes an exhibition of vegetables, flowers and cookery. After judging, all exhibits are auctioned off with the proceeds going towards a charity of the year or to help other people of the village.
