Wensleydale · Local & Reliable
Thornton Steward is a small conservation village set high on a hillside above the River Ure, on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Its stone houses line a single village street and green, with building styles ranging from medieval origins through to the present day.
The parish also takes in the hamlet of Danby and sits close to Jervaulx Abbey and Thornton Steward Reservoir. Kevin and the team carry out maintenance and building work throughout the village, understanding how its older stone stock and elevated, exposed setting affect the jobs we're called out for.
