Contacts and Local Information

Melsonby is an attractive village of 750 people in lower Teesdale, just to the north of the A66 ridge.  At the centre of the village is the village green, that is surrounded by trees and is crossed by the Waterfall Beck that is partially culverted.

Fun on the water slide

The steep northern bank  is popular with the children, especially when it snows, or as a waterslide in summer.

The older houses are in a conservation area, as they have unusual roofs.

The parish church of St James the Great is located at the eastern end of the village and has a commanding view over the Tees floodplain.

Gilbert Hird lived in Melsonby for 91 years and wrote regularly about his childhood memories.  This record of Inter-War local history is now available.
