Church Houses is a hamlet in Farndale, North Yorkshire, England. The hamlet is just to the east of the River Dove in upper Farndale, and is about 150 metres (490 ft) above sea level. The nearest town, Kirkbymoorside, is 8 miles (13 km) away to the south, and Castleton is also 8 miles (13 km) to the north. It is one of three hamlets in the Farndale valley, though it is sometimes referred to as a village (it has a village hall), and on account of the church just to the east, although the hamlet only consists of seven buildings.
The hamlet is best known for being the starting/finishing point of the daffodil walks that people undertake in the valley in late March/early April. Farndale is renowned for its daffodils which grow in the valley in their thousands. The hamlet has a pub, the Feversham Arms, an old school house (now converted into a private dwelling), and just east of the hamlet, is the Church of St Mary, which is grade II listed. The village hall was re-built in 2019 and is considered eco-friendly, and the annual Farndale Show is held at the showfield in Church Houses; the show in 2024 was the 115th show.
The hamlet is within the civil parish of Farndale East Side, and is represented at Westminster as part of the Thirsk and Malton Constituency. A public bus service runs in spring in conjunction with the blooming of daffodils in the valley, otherwise, the nearest Moorsbus service runs to the east of the hamlet past the Lion Inn and Blakey Ridge.
