History
Carlton was first mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086.[3] By the 14th century it had become known as Karleton in Clyveland (Carlton in Cleveland),[4] to distinguish the place from other places named Carlton. "Cleveland" refers to the historic region of Cleveland. The village was in the Hambleton district until 2023 and never formed part of the county of Cleveland, which existed from 1974 to 1996.
In the Middle Ages, it appears that Carlton was a chapelry in the parish of Rudby, but by 1611 Carlton had its own church, and was considered a separate parish. The present St Botolph's Church, Carlton in Cleveland, was completed in 1897.[4] It was designed by Temple Moore, and is a Grade II listed building.[5]
The Cleveland Hills, which lie to the south of the village, are known colloquially as 'Carlton Banks'. They were the site of alum extraction and a small works. During the 1950s the abandoned workings became a small but popular Motorcycling Scramble track. Adjacent to it is the Lordstones Country Park.[6]
On 10 August 2003, a thunderstorm dropped Script error: No such module "convert". of rain on the village in less than 13 minutes. The recording is held by the Met Office to be the most accurate rainfall measurement in the British Isles.[7][8] The accuracy is maintained because the Meteorological Office have a monitoring station in the village.[9]
