Dalton-on-Tees is a village and civil parish in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England, near the boundary with Durham. According to the 2001 Census there were 239 people living in the parish in 90 houses. The population (now including Eryholme) had increased to 303 by the time of the 2011 Census.[1] It is situated on the A167 road between Darlington and Northallerton, which by-passes it, and is {{convert|1+1⁄2|mi}} south of the village of Croft-on-Tees and {{convert|1|mi}} north-east of the motor racing circuit Croft Circuit. There are signs at both the north and south entrances to the village indicating that the village is {{convert|11+1⁄4|mi}} from Northallerton and {{convert|4+3⁄4|mi}} from Darlington even though they are {{convert|1⁄4|mi|1}} apart. The village overlooks, to the east, a meander of the River Tees.

The village has a pub, the Chequers Inn,[2] overlooking the village green, and a small village hall separated by the bypass just along West Lane. The village green is the site of the village water pump (now defunct) which stands under a sprawling chestnut tree. There are a number of signed streets in the village, namely, Ruskin Close, Byron Court, Garth Terrace, Orchard Close, and West Lane, and a number of unsigned roads and lanes, including The Green and the Old Road. The village itself currently has some 88 properties within its immediate vicinity, and infill may expand this further in coming years.

Dalton-on-Tees is served by the no 72 public bus between Darlington and Northallerton and, on school days, the no 466R between Croft-on-Tees and Richmond School.

The village has a series of moats, which have been identified as a fishpond complex.

History

Dalton on Tees, at one time described as a township, which lies in the Parish of Croft, was referenced in various publications in the early 1820s, appears in the 1861 census, and, around 1881, consisted of some 40 dwellings and with a population of 187. At this time, the area was considered to be {{convert|1,625|acre}} of land and {{convert|11|acre}} of water with a rateable value of £5,739. Until around 1900, it was described as being part of the wapentake of Gilling East in the Richmond area of the North Riding of Yorkshire. It is near the former Dalton junction/Eryholme railway station on the closed Richmond branch line of the North Eastern Railway between York and Newcastle.

At the southern end of the village is a memorial to the pilots, air and ground crew of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) 434 "Bluenose" and 431 "Iroquois" Squadrons who, during World War II, were based at the nearby RAF Croft air base (now the site of the Croft Circuit as described above).

Some years ago, a Romano-British villa complex was unearthed and explored in the fields near Chapel House Farm to the rear of the village.[3]
