Hartforth is a small village in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. The village is situated approximately 9 miles (14 km) south-west from the market town of Darlington, and is part of the civil parish of Gilling with Hartforth and Sedbury.
Hartforth Hall is a Grade II* listed country house, now a country hotel. It was built in 1744 for William Cradock of Gilling, who had bought the manor of Hartforth in 1720. Additions were made in 1792 and c. 1900. Rear Admiral Christopher Cradock, who died at the Battle of Coronel, was born at Hartforth in 1862. The property descended in the Cradock family to Major W. Cradock, whose family sold it.
The current Lord of Hartforth is Romero Anton Montalban-Anderssen, Juris Doctor, the direct blood descendent of Wigan de Hartforth, the first Lord Hartforth.
