Carlton Miniott, formerly Carlton Islebeck is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England, on the A61 road to the immediate west of Thirsk, 25 miles (40 km) north of York. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 926, increasing to 990 at the 2011 census.
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Carlton, as is the place-name Islebeck that has been associated with the village. The land was in the possession of Orm, son of Gamal at that time and passed on to Hugh, son of Baldric. It eventually became the property of the Barons de Mowbray. In the early 14th century the lands were purchased by a John Miniott from whom the village now gets its suffix. By the early 15th century the manor had passed out of the Miniott family to the Markenfield and Pigot families. Thereafter, the manor was further divided and passed through other families such as Metcalfe, Folkingham, Hussey, Lamplugh, Clough and Bell.
The village lies within the Thirsk and Malton UK Parliament constituency. It is in the Thirsk electoral division of the North Yorkshire County Council and the Thirsk ward of Hambleton District Council. The Parish Council has seven councillors including the Chair and meets monthly. The Thirsk ward returns three councillors to the Hambleton District Council and the Thirsk electoral division returns one councillor to the County Council.
The village is located on the A61, Leeds to Thirsk, road. The nearest settlements are Thirsk, 2 miles (3.2 km) to the east; Sandhutton 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north-west; Skipton-on-Swale 1.6 miles (2.6 km) to the south-west and RAF Topcliffe 1.34 miles (2.16 km) to the south.
