Welcome to Seamer Village Hall |
About Our Village
Seamer (We are NOT Seamer near Scarborough). This parish is at its greatest extent about 4 miles from east to west and covers 2,650 acres, of which 1,271 acres are arable land, 12 acres woods and plantations and 1,313 acres permanent grass. (fn. 1) It is separated from Stokesley by the Tame, a small brook which joins the Leven a mile to the west below Stokesley. The country is undulating and wooded. The soil is a rich sandy loam on a subsoil of Keuper marls. Brick and tile works established in the south of the parish are now disused.
The village is small and irregularly built on an angle of the road from Stokesley to Yarm. It is on higher ground than most of the surrounding country, and a distant view of the sea may be obtained from the churchyard on the edge of the hill at the north end of the village. A cottage opposite the church which is said to be the glebe-house is the birthplace of Brian Walton, Bishop of Chester (1600–61) and editor of the English Polyglot Bible. (fn. 2) The houses are grouped about a green which has been broken up by inclosures. The public elementary school stands in the main street. It was built by Colonel Wyndham in 1840 and belongs to Lord Leconfield. (fn. 3) In 1346 the Archbishop of Canterbury granted his gaol here to John Darcy, (fn. 4) lord of the manor, and Elizabeth his wife, but all trace of this building has disappeared. The manor-house, now a farm, stands at the southern end of the green.
North of the church is the West End Well. Well Lane leads past Low Field to a ford over the Cold Pool Beck, which forms part of the northern boundary of the parish. About half a mile south of the village is Seamer Hill, the Ranbourn Farm being further south on the edge of Seamer Moor. North of the moor the land drops to the Carrs, low-lying grounds, which were drained before 1859. (fn. 5) Seamer Grange is situated between them and the village.
An Inclosure Act for Seamer was passed in 1708. (fn. 6) Between Seamer and Newby is How Hill, a tumulus, and in an adjacent field are traces of earthworks.
This rural village supports a small farming community. There are 2 churches in the village, a Methodist chapel and St Martins Church of England. The village also has the King's Head pub.

SEAMER VILLAGE HALL 100+ CLUB
We are continuing to attract new members to our club. Our aim is to now have up to 200 members from within the parish – Seamer village, Tame Bridge, Seamer Hill and Coldpool – or anyone else who uses the hall for activities, so that we can fund more projects for the hall for it to become even more of a community asset.
How it works
You pay £1 per month/ £12 per year and receive one number which will be entered into each of the monthly prize draws. Half of the money raised will go to the village hall funds and the remainder will be divided into 3 or 4 prizes. i.e.
£100 raised = £50 for the village hall and four prizes of £20, £15, £10 and £5.
Payment can be made by cheque, cash, standing order or online banking
The monthly draw takes place at the Pop-in at the village hall on the last Monday of the month and the winning names will be published in the following copy of the Grapevine.
You can join at anytime and if you wish to do so please contact:
Christine Cooper on 01642 710294
