*************

Sledmere is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, about 7 miles (11 km) north-west of Driffield on the B1253 road.

Together with the hamlet of Croome it forms the civil parish of Sledmere and Croome.

Local points of interest include Sledmere House, a Georgian country house. Built in 1751 by Richard Sykes, the house has remained in the Sykes family since then. It is now the home of Sir Tatton Sykes, 8th baronet.

The Sledmere Monument is about 2 miles (3 km) south-east of the village, along the B1252 road, on top of Garton Hill. It is 120 feet (37 m) tall and is a tribute to Sir Tatton Sykes, 4th Baronet, built by his friends in 1865.

The war memorial in the village, designed by Sir Mark Sykes, 6th baronet, is dedicated to the Wolds Wagoners Reserve, a regiment that Sir Mark raised from the local population to fight in the First World War. It is noted for its unusual shape and its graphic scenes of war and country life.

Sledmere is also the site of an Eleanor cross: this is a replica, not one of the 12 original crosses. The cross was designated a Grade II listed building in September 1966.^[1]

East of the village is Sledmere Castle, a folly built around 1790 by John Carr for Sir Christopher Sykes, the 2nd baronet, to enhance the view from Sledmere House.

The church of St Mary is one of the churches on the Sykes Churches Trail.^[2] In 1966 the church was designated a Grade II* listed building.^[3]

Sledmere was served by Sledmere and Fimber railway station on the Malton and Driffield Railway between 1853 and 1950.^[4]
