Spaunton - House 1695 by Yorkshire Lad - Paul Thackray On the left is Woodman’s Cottage. Originally of Cruck Frame construction and thatched until 1913 the cottage has a date stone from 1695 and is a fine example of a 17th century yeoman’s house. Passing through Spaunton on the edge of the North York Moors today it is hard to envisage that this now small village was once a significant ancient dwelling site and for seven or eight centuries the historical centre for the Manor of Spaunton and home to the Lord of the Manor. Archaeological finds at Spaunton have produced more evidence than any other village in the district to suggest there was once a stone-age settlement. Spaunton is a hamlet and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, some 5 miles north west of Pickering https://flic.kr/p/2iDzu1E -- source link
