Abbot's House is the site where monks settled in about 1100, and it marks the first records of Goathland. Henry 1 allowed the monks the privilege of cutting timber from his Forest of Pickering for their buildings and fences on condition that they should provide food and a bed for any poor travellers who passed their door.
