Skelton Grange Farmhouse dates back to 1730, the early Georgian period. Having once been a working farm with dairy cattle, horses and an orchard, this is now part of the village green. The rooms once formed part of the old milking sheds and stables.

Skelton is a very old village, in Roman time it was used as a place to store large stones and pebbles which were used for building roads. The name "Skelton" probably came from the Anglo-Saxon "Shelfton" which simply means settlement on high ground. Later changing it to Skelton around 1866-1887 AD when the Danes arrived. 

The church "St Giles" was built in 1247 using stone left over from the South Transept of York Minster

"St Peter's Cathedral".  Visit www.skeltonvillagetrust.org to see whats going on in the village.
