ESTON, a village and a chapelry in Ormsby parish, N. R. Yorkshire. The village stands on the ascent of Barnaby-Moor or Eston-Nab, near the Middlesborough and Saltburn railway, 2 miles S of the estuary of the Tees, and 5½ NW by W of Guisborough; and has a post-office under Middlesborough, and a station with telegraph on the railway.

The chapelry comprises 1,919 acres of land and 835 of water. Real property, £23,508; of which £18,450 are in iron-works. Pop. in 1851, 465; in 1861, 2,835. Houses, 518. The increase of population arose mainly from the opening of extensive ironstone works, and the establishment of blast furnaces. The property is much subdivided. Eston-Nab is a detached hill, 784 feet high; has remains of an ancient camp; commands a fine prospect; and possesses interest in great modern quarries and ironstone pits. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Ormsby, in the diocese of York. The church is good.
