context_page_description: Horton in Ribblesdale is a small village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated in Ribblesdale on the Settle–Carlisle Railway to the west of Pen-y-ghent.
  Its population in the 2001 census was 498 people in 211 households; decreasing to 428 at the 2011 Census.
context_section_description: The village has two pubs, the Crown Hotel and the Golden Lion, as well as a cafe and tea-rooms. The village post office that was previously located in the now-closed village store is now located in the Crown Hotel. In 2006 a villager controversially installed a radio telescope.
  The Grade I listed village church is dedicated to St. Oswald. It has a complete Norman nave, south door and tub-font and is the most complete of the Norman churches built in the Yorkshire Dales after the Norman conquest and the Harrying of the North that followed. The square tower was built later. The lychgates to enter the churchyard are roofed with slabs of Horton slate.
  Other buildings in Horton are typical of the area. 17th-century yeomen's farmhouses can be found on the edge of the village, and later cottages can be seen nearer the centre of the village. In the 1870s the new railway prompted the building of Victorian terraced housing. Later the local quarrying of limestone led to the building of housing for the quarrymen.
