Thornton-in-Craven is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England.

Near the medieval church to the west of the village is a holy well, dating from Saxon times and now covered by an octagonal structure erected in 1764 by the rector.

Thornton-in-Craven railway station was closed when passenger trains over the Skipton to Colne route were withdrawn in 1970.

[2] SELRAP are actively pursuing a re-opening of the line[3] which was given a boost in February 2018, when the transport minister, Chris Grayling, ordered a feasibility study into the reopening.

The team is heavily populated by players from nearby Earby and Barnoldswick, with a few representatives from the village itself.
