The village hall in Great Broughton occupies a prominent position near the mini-roundabout at the junction of the B1257 road (straight ahead) and the minor road that runs between Kirkby (to the left) and Ingleby Greenhow (to the right). The Wainstones Hotel is located about 100 yards beyond the village hall on the right-hand side of the road.

This Church is south east of centre of the O/S grid which it occupies, on the western side of the B1257.

In 1729 William Parkin was sentenced to death at York assizes for the murder of his brother-in-law, Anthony Noble, in a close near to Great Broughton. On his way back from York his escort rested at the Three Tuns in Stokesley where Parkin ate a "hearty dinner of beafsteaks and potatoes". He was then taken through Broughton and hanged and gibbetted. The gibbet must have been somewhere along the Ingleby road as it could be seen from Ingleby Manor. The Foulis family there had it removed.
