Castlelevington

Castlelevington (or Castle Leavington) is a group of hamlets, former township and former civil parish.

It is east of the River Leven and 2.5 miles (4 km) south south-east of Yarm.

[2] The area forms the eastern half of the present parish.

It covers a number of farms: Red Hall, White Hall, Spell Close, Levington House, Woodcroft and The Mill although there is no settlement in the area known as Castle Levington.

Red Hall was seat of the Meryton family,[3] whose most famous son was George Meryton (d. 1624), chaplain to Queen Anne and Dean of Peterborough and York.
