It is situated about 6 miles north of Boroughbridge, 5 miles north-east of Ripon and 5 miles south-west of Thirsk. The area has a village green and a maypole. There are approximately 120 houses in Rainton including six listed buildings- several period farm houses, a smithy and a dovecote. The local vernacular building style is sandstone and cobble construction with slate or pantile roof. Rainton was a largely agricultural village. However, since 2000, it has become a commuter village, largely due to its close proximity to the A1 road.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}} This in turn has led to an increase in property prices which is evidenced by the large number of barn conversions and property renovations.{{original research inline|date=April 2017}} Rainton continues to host Christmas parties for local children, lunches for retired people, and other social events including a gardening club.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}} Rainton is the principal settlement in the civil parish of Rainton with Newby. Newby, historically known as Newby-on-Swale, is a deserted medieval village,[2] now occupied by Baldersby Park (also known as Newby Park), the home of Queen Mary's School. FacilitiesThe local school is based at Baldersby St James. There are two freehold pubs in the village: The Lamb and The Bay Horse which are both traditional village pubs. Both pubs serve ale and typical home-made pub fayre.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}} A recreation field, including a children's park, opened in 2000 after local fundraising. The children's park has recently{{when|date=April 2017}} obtained further funds to provide new equipment for older children. The cricket club has two teams which have a new pavilion, built largely by the hands-on cricket team and villagers themselves. There is a Methodist chapel in Rainton. The church at nearby Baldersby St James has a 'landmark' steeple. HistoryRainton was historically in the parish of Topcliffe in the North Riding of Yorkshire, part of the township of Rainton with Newby.[3] The township became a separate civil parish in 1866,[4] and in 1974 was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire.
