Thornton Steward is a small village in North Yorkshire, England, near Wensleydale, with a population of 100-200. The village is very similar to the others that dot Wensleydale but Thornton Steward however has a reservoir owned by Yorkshire Water.

Other attractions are the extremely old church that predate most in Yorkshire. The church was subject to Channel 4's show "Time Team" where they found remains of a communion of monks. The hill, East Witton fell is visible from Thornton Steward and on the western side Jervaulx Abbey is visible.

The school house was founded in 1815 by George Horn, with a budget of '£10 per annum', but was closed during the 20th century. it is situated in between the towns of Leyburn and Bedale, and is near to several tourist attractions such as thorpe perrow arboretum and the green howards regimental exhibition.
