Captain Cooks Birthplace Cottage Stewart Park is situated near the village of Marton, Middlesbrough in the north-east of England and contains the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum. Twenty metres from the museum is a granite memorial with the following inscription: “This Granite Vase was erected by H.W.F Bolckow of Marton Hall, A.D 1858, to mark the site of the cottage in which Captain James Cook, the world circumnavigator was born, 27th October, 1728.” James Cook was born on Sunday 27th October 1728, the second child of James and Grace Cook. His parents originally set up home in the parish of Ormesby but soon moved to Marton where the Cook family lived in a small cottage belonging to James Cook Senior’s employer, farmer George Mewburn. It was in this cottage that James Cook was born.
