*************

Great Broughton is a village in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire in northern England. It is two miles (3.2 km) south of Stokesley, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and the Cleveland Hills. Together with the adjacent village of Little Broughton, it forms a civil parish within Hambleton. The two villages are listed (under their Latinnames Magna Broctun and Parva Broctun) in the Domesday book of 1086.^[2] The name "Broughton" is a common English placename, derived from Old English meaning "farmstead by a brook".^[3]

The village is overlooked by the Wainstones, a rocky outcrop popular with climbers,^[4] and lies on the Cleveland Way. Broughton Beck flows northward through the village, joining the River Leven, a tributary of the Tees, at Stokesley. The B1257 road, which runs north to Stokesley and south over the moors to Helmsley, is a popular scenic drive;^[5] its popularity with motorcyclists has led to opposition from locals.^[6][7]

Great Broughton is one mile (1.6 km) east of Kirkby in Cleveland, and was formerly part of the Parish of Kirkby.^[8] It was a part of the wapentake and liberty of Langbaurgh.^[8]

The economy of the village was formerly dependent on agriculture, textiles,^[9] and jet mining^[2] but now the village relies on tourists visiting the moors and functions as a dormitory settlement for Teesside and North Yorkshire. The 2001 census put the population of the parish at 950, with the council estimating 940 inhabitants c.2005.^[10] By the time of the 2011 Census the population had increased to 990.^[1]
