Situated between the rural market towns of Stokesley and Northallerton, West Rounton is a small, sleepy farming village located in North Yorkshire. Since 1929, it has been home to The Hurworth Hunt, one of the oldest hunts in the country.

The neighbouring village of West Rounton is East Rounton, which is located about a mile away across the fields.

HISTORY

In 1086, West Rounton was soke of Northallerton. By the end of the 11th century or the beginning of the 12th, the village was granted to Roger Conyers, who was an ancestor of the Conyers of Sockburn, by Bishop Ralph Flambard.

Conyers sold the village to Robert Colvill, who married his daughter Elizabeth Conyers. The land was in the possession of Colvill until it came into the possession of the Wandesford family of Kirklington in 1439-1440.

It is said that the Wandesford family sold West Rounton before 1500. Since there was no evidence found of a purchaser, it is believed that the manor was sold in small parcels.

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, West Rounton was held in small portions until the Wailes family of East Rounton Grange acquired it in the early 19th century. Sir Lowthain Bell purchased the estate from them in 1903.
