The '''English mount''' or '''Yoke''' mount<ref>{{cite web|url=http://brunelleschi.imss.fi.it/museum/esim.asp?c=202501 |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20100808021549/http://brunelleschi.imss.fi.it/museum/esim.asp?c=202501 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2010-08-08 |title=IMSS - Multimedia Catalogue - Glossary - Telescope mounts |publisher=1995-2006 IMSS Piazza dei Giudici 1 50122 Florence ITALY }}</ref> has a frame or "''yoke''" with ''right ascension'' axis bearings at the top and the bottom ends, and a telescope attached inside the midpoint of the yoke allowing it to swing on the ''declination'' axis. The telescope is usually fitted entirely inside the fork, although there are exceptions such as the [[Mount Wilson Observatory|Mount Wilson 2.5 m reflector]], and there are no counterweights as with the ''German mount''.

The original ''English fork'' design is disadvantaged in that it does not allow the telescope to point too near the north or south celestial pole.
