Background
History
The area was named “Rantune” in the Domesday survey of 1086, valued at £2, and with The Lord being the King, William the Conqueror. St Lawrence's Church, East Rounton is thought to probably date back to the 13th century, but at least to 1483. It was restored by Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell in 1884. In a field to the north of the church are the remains of the medieval village. The village appears on maps of 1577 and 1611, but is absent from later maps of 1645 and 1720. There is an 18th century bridge over the River Wiske, where an old inn used to stand; the Black Horse.
