Stockton-on-the-Forest is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of the City of York in North Yorkshire, England.

After the Norman invasion the land was shared between Count Alan (of Brittany) and Canons of York (St Peter).

The hall is a brick built three-storey building with a five-bay frontage and is grade II listed.

[1] Stockton-on-the-Forest is a good example of a linear village, as it follows only one main road (Stockton Lane/Sandy Lane) for approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km), branching out only near the west end.

The Snowball Plantation woodland area and Scout park is situated on the eastern end of the village.

[8] Stockton-on-the-Forest is currently served by bus operator Coastliner that links the village with the cities of Leeds and York as well as the east coast of Yorkshire via Malton.
