It is located near Scotch Corner. HistoryThe name Middleton is of Anglo-Saxon origin and it means middle-farm or middle-settlement. Tyas is a Norman family name but there seems to be no evidence that Middleton Tyas once belonged to a family of that name. The village lies on a substratum of limestone, which has been extensively quarried.[2] Limestone quarrying still takes place at the nearby Barton roundabout.[3] There was also an 18th-century copper mine and works near the village.[4] Just outside the village is the Middleton Lodge Estate. Middleton Lodge itself was built in 1760 and is a listed building. It also has a number of Grade II listed buildings and {{convert|200|acre|ha|abbr=off}} of private parkland.[5] The Church of St Michael and All Angels lies just outside the village on the road towards Moulton.[6] It is an ancient structure, with Norman arches and pillars on the north side, and Early English on the south. It was restored and renovated between 1867-79[7] under the direction of Sir George Gilbert Scott. A Primitive Methodist chapel was erected in the village in 1877; only three years later it was sold to the Wesleyans. It is no longer used as a church being closed down in 1984.[8] Notable peopleThe fraudster Sir Edmund Backhouse, 2nd Baronet and his brother, the naval officer Roger Backhouse were both born in the village. Lady Alicia Blackwood lived in the village, as did Arthur Francis Pease, who also died there. The two brothers Almroth Wright and Charles Theodore Hagberg Wright were born in the village.

The village is served by Middleton Tyas Church of England primary school, which moved premises from the old Victorian building in the village to a new purpose-built building on the outskirts. The old school was built in 1861-62 and the new school was built in 2003-04. The old school has been sold and is now being extensively refurbished. The village had a post office and shop but it closed in April 2003. This left the village with no retail facilities within its boundaries, so the local community decided to open a new shop. Using grant aid from the Countryside Agency and DEFRA the villagers founded the Community Co-operative village store at Memorial Hall. It was opened by local MP William Hague in April 2004. The shop is open 55 hours a week; it sells basic groceries, local produce, deli, fruit and vegetables, newspapers and magazines; it has an in-store bakery and serves as an off-licence. The shop employs two part-time staff and there is regular input from eight volunteers. The nearby Scotch Corner Service Station acts as a useful 24-hour shop for Middleton Tyas and other neighbouring villages. GovernanceAn electoral ward in the same name exists. This ward stretches south west to Skeeby and had a total population at the 2011 Census of 1,183.[9] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11126548&c=DL10+6PP&d=16&e=62&g=6454881&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=0&s=1439118747605&enc=1|title=Parish population 2011|accessdate=9 August 2015|publisher=Office for National Statistics|work=Neighbourhood Statistics}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Middleton-in-Teesdale - Midley|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-dict/england/pp310-313|website=www.british-history.ac.uk|accessdate=17 January 2016}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Cameron|first1=D G|last2=Bide|first2=T|last3=Parry|first3=S F|last4=Parker|first4=A S|last5=Mankelow|first5=J M|title=Directory of Mines and Quarries|date=2014|publisher=British Geological Society|location=Keyworth|isbn=978-0-85272-785-0|page=81|edition=10|url=http://www.bgs.ac.uk/mineralsuk/whatsnew.html#MSS|accessdate=17 January 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=GENUKI: Middleton Tyas Parish information from Bulmers' 1890.|url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/NRY/Middletontyas/Middletontyas90.html|website=www.genuki.org.uk|accessdate=17 January 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Middleton Lodge - Middleton Tyas - North Yorkshire - England|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-322126-middleton-lodge-middleton-tyas-north-yor#.VpwUrVXcvmI|website=www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk|accessdate=17 January 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Middleton Tyas: St Michael & All Angels, Richmond|url=http://www.achurchnearyou.com/middleton-tyas-st-michael-all-angels/|website=A Church Near You|accessdate=17 January 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=History of Middleton Tyas, in Richmondshire and North Riding|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/13711|website=www.visionofbritain.org.uk|accessdate=17 January 2016}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Village Church Closes After 107 Years|url=http://www.middletontyas.org.uk/Middleton-Tyas-Parish-Council/newspaper_clippings-25055.aspx#news|accessdate=17 January 2016|work=Evening Despatch|date=19 July 1984}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=13693889&c=middleton+tyas&d=14&e=62&g=6454881&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1453075036811&enc=1|title=Key Figures for 2011 Census: Key Statistics – Area: Middleton Tyas (Ward)|accessdate=17 January 2016|publisher=Office for National Statistics|work=Neighbourhood Statistics}} External links{{Commons category|Middleton Tyas}}
