Thornton-le-Street is a village and parochial and civil parish in the former Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England.

In the 16th century the line of descent had altered through marriage to the Everingham's and then by sale to the Talbot's who held the title to the manor until 1793.

[10] The village is located between the west bank of the Cod Beck and the A168 road between Thirsk and Northallerton.

[10] The abandoned medieval village, fishponds and manorial site complete with a moat, are now little more than earthwork banks, but with well preserved below-ground remains.

[6][10] The village church is dedicated to St Leonard and is a grade II* listed building.
