Carlton Miniott is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, on the A61 road to the immediate west of Thirsk. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 926.The novelist J. L. Carr was born on May 20, 1912 in the railway cottages at Thirsk Junction, between Carlton Miniott and Thirsk, where his father was stationmaster, and attended primary school in the village. Carr wrote: "I scarcely can believe that from the age of five until we left Carlton Miniott when I was about eight, a better education could have been purchased. I wanted information, and it was provided. I preferred order, and there was order. I needed others to emulate, and they were there. I was learning all the time."
