Cringley House is a Grade II-listed 19th-century building in the charming village of Askrigg. It's most famous for its role as Skeldale House, the setting for the Darrowby veterinary surgery in the BBC's TV series All Creatures Great and Small. The series was based on the James Herriot books by James Alfie Wight, who lived and worked in the area. The real Skeldale House, where Wight actually practised, is in Thirsk.
