Interestingly the church of St.Mary's is over a mile away from the rectory, which is a fine late 18th C house just off the Green.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Not sure when or even if this Post Office is still open. It's all a bit scruffy.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Situated around the back of the village, on the end of a low ridge is a quadrangular moated platform, 55m across and 4-5m tall. It is the site of a castle or fortified manor house that was built in 1314 by Henry le Scope. It had been abandoned by 1630, and there is no evidence left aside from the mound surrounded by a ring of trees, except here on the west side where the outer ringwork has been destroyed by ploughing.

Dist:0.3km<br/>THis stile at the back of Kirkby Fleetham was so rickity that in the end i climbed over the gate, through fear of doing myself a mischief when using it.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Surrounding Kirkby Fleetham motte, now somewhat overgrown and refilled, there is still evidence that the moat was stone-lined.
