West Rounton

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Rontun or Runtune, and as having 75 ploughlands and 100 acres (40 ha) of meadows.

The first part refers to a type of bridge made with poles, often built over marshy ground.

[4] The nearest railway station was just outside the village (West Rounton Gates), which opened in June 1852, and closed in September 1939.

[7][8] The church of St Oswald dates from the 12th century and was completely rebuilt in 1860 by architect James Pritchett.

[10][11] West Rounton had one pub, the Horseshoe Inn, but this closed down after trade suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
