Thornton Hill is a converted manor house built in the 1800s, with a modern extension.
The home is owned and maintained by Anchor Trust, England’s largest not-for-profit provider
of support, care and housing for older people. Thornton Hill is set in a village location
in its own grounds with fantastic views over the Yorkshire Dales. Most of our rooms have lovely views
of the well-kept garden, courtyard and countryside.
At Thornton Hill, we provide residential care for 52 older people (male and female) with increasing
