Brimham Lodge is a historic farmhouse in Nidderdale in North Yorkshire, in England. The farmhouse was built in 1661 for Thomas Braithwaite. Additional bays were added to the left and right in the 19th century, and some restoration work was done in the mid 20th century. In the 1940s, the farm was purchased by Tom Gratton, who walked his 16 cows almost 20 miles from Pool in Wharfedale. More recently, it has operated as a dairy farm, with 200 cows on 300 acres. The building was grade I listed in 1987. The house is built of gritstone, and has a blue slate roof with moulded kneelers, splayed coping and bulbous finials. There are two storeys and attics, five bays, and a rear staircase wing. The central doorway has a chamfered moulded surround of large blocks, and a lintel with an enriched ogee arch. Above it is a large initialled and dated block and a single-light window. Elsewhere on the front are recessed chamfered mullioned windows with up to six lights and continuous hood moulds over the lower two floors. In the rear wing is a three-light mullioned and transomed stair window. North of the farmhouse is a grade II-listed outbuilding of similar date. It is also built of gritstone, with quoins, and a stone slate roof with shaped kneelers and gable coping. It has two storeys and two bays. In the centre is a stable door with a chamfered quoined surround, and a large lintel with a shallow four-centred arch. To the right is another doorway, and on the left stone steps lead up to a doorway with a quoined surround. The windows are recessed, chamfered and mullioned. South of the farmhouse is a 17th-century grade II-listed mounting block. It is built of gritstone, and consists of three steps surrounding a platform about 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) wide and 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) high. In the centre of the platform is a sundial, consisting of a shaft chamfered to a square 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) high, with the gnomon missing. The front garden wall is late 17th century and is also grade II-listed. It is built of gritstone with ridged coping, and is between 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) and 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) high.

St Andrew's Church, Aldborough

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Aldborough, North Yorkshire, a village in England. Aldborough is the site of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantum, and it is believed that the church lies on the site of a temple to Mercury. Two churches successively occupied the site before the present building was commenced, in the early 14th century. In 1318, the building was partly destroyed by raiders from Scotland, but it was repaired, with a north chantry chapel added in 1333, and the north aisle dating from about 1360. The clerestory dates from the 15th century, the roof was restored in the 16th century, and the south aisle was rebuilt in 1827. The church was Grade I listed in 1966. The church is built of red sandstone with a lead roof, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a chancel, a north chapel, and a west tower. The tower has angle buttresses, a west window with a pointed arch and hood mould, a clock face on the west side, two-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet. The east window has five lights and is in Perpendicular style. Inside, the roof is panelled, with bosses. There is Mediaeval stained glass in the north aisle, and 14th-century canopies which would originally have sheltered figures. There is a weathered Roman sculpture which may represent Mercury, a 16th-century panel depicting Daniel in the Lion's Den, and a brass of William of Adleburgh, dating from around 1360. There is 17th-century panelling in the chancel, moved from elsewhere, a communion rail from about 1700, and 18th-century breadshelves.

The remainder of the nave, the chancel and the porch are 13th century, while the west tower and vestry were added in the 15th century. The building was restored between 1878 and 1880 by Arthur Blomfield. In 1908, the church suffered a major fire which destroyed the roofs and much of the northern nave arcade. A restoration by J. Oldrid Scott was completed in 1910. The church was grade I listed in 1967.

All Saints' Church, Kirby-on-the-Moor

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Kirby-on-the-Moor, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was probably built in the 10th century, but uses even earlier materials. The north aisle was added in about 1170, followed by the chancel around 1200, and the north chapel later in the century. The chapel was enlarged in the 15th century, and the whole church was restored by George Gilbert Scott in 1870, who added the south porch. The building was grade I listed in 1966. The church is built of gritstone with roofs of stone slate and tile, and consists of a nave, a taller north aisle and chapel, a south porch, a lower chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a two-light west window, paired lancet bell openings, a corbel table with a gargoyle on the west, a coped parapet, and a squat pyramidal slate roof with a weathercock. In the porch are worked stones, including one from the Saxon period, and the inner doorway has a round arch. Inside, the chapel has a squint to the chancel. The font is 11th century, reworked in the 14th century, with an 18th-century cover, and some of the bench ends date from the 15th century. In and around the church are 12 stones with Celtic carvings. At the base of the southwest corner of the church is a large granite block with a Roman inscription. It is too weathered to be legible, but it appears to be a dedication to either Antoninus Pius or Caracalla, which would make it second- or early third-century. The west tower has a ring of six bells. Richard Seliok of Nottingham cast the tenor bell in about 1520. Samuel II Smith of York cast the fourth bell in 1713 and the fifth bell in 1718.

St Helen's Church, Bilton-in-Ainsty

St Helen's Church is the parish church of Bilton-in-Ainsty, a village west of York in North Yorkshire, in England. Although no church in the village is mentioned in the Domesday Book, the various Saxon fragments incorporated in the current building suggest that there was a previous church on the site. The current church was built in about 1150 by the Haget family. In 1160, its advowson was granted to Syningthwaite Priory, then in 1293 it became a prebendary of York Minster. In the first half of the 13th century, north and south aisles were added to the nave, and in the 15th century, these were extended along the chancel. More new windows were inserted in the 17th century, and the porch door is dated 1633. It is claimed that the church served as a military hospital following the Battle of Marston Moor, in 1644. A satirical carving of a crowned snake, in the church door, has been attributed to a Royalist officer held prisoner in the building. From 1869 to 1871, the church was restored by George Gilbert Scott, who removed a west gallery, replaced the pews, and found parts of various early crosses buried in the churchyard. The church was Grade I listed in 1966. The church is constructed of limestone and cobbles. It has a four-bay nave and three-bay chancel, aisles, a south porch, and a bellcote at the west end. The bellcote dates from the 17th century and is believed to have replaced a bell tower. The west wall has a restored Norman arched window, with an oculus window above, and the south aisle has a possible Saxon window in its west wall, reset in the 13th century and restored by Scott. Inside, the aisles have arcades with circular piers. The chancel has remains of a piscina, and has corbels in the eaves with early carvings of animals and two sheela na gigs. There is also a carved mass dial. There are fragments of three 10th-century Anglo-Norse crosses, and one Saxon cross. There is a brass monument of about 1400, which is believed to depict an abbess of Syningthwaite. The plain bowl font was moved from Tockwith. There is also an altar table from about 1600 and an eagle lectern of similar date. The Church also contains a female effigy, likely of Alice Vavasour (née Cockfield), crafted out of stone and depicts the woman holding a bird. Alice was a descendant of the Haget family and a patron to local Priories. Alice may have been buried at the church but likely she was buried at Syningthwaite Priory, built by Bertram Haget. If she was buried in the Priory she would’ve been moved to St Helen’s after its dissolution. In 2015 the effigy was moved to the north aisle sanctuary during restoration to remove algae from the Church.

Ripon Obelisk

The Ripon Obelisk is an obelisk monument in the centre of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England and the oldest free standing obelisk monument in the United Kingdom. It is located in the market square of Ripon, and serves as a market cross. It is 82 feet (25 m) tall. The obelisk was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and constructed in 1702 with the support of John Aislabie, Ripon's Member of Parliament. It has been granted Grade I status and was first listed in 1949. Hawksmoor may have been inspired by recent discoveries that Ripon might have originally been a Roman town. In his 1724 book A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain Daniel Defoe notes "In the middle of it stands a curious column of stone, imitating the obelisks of the ancients, though not so high, but rather like the pillar in the middle of Covent Garden, or that in Lincoln's Inn". In 1781 the monument was restored by William Aislabie, the son of the obelisk's founder and himself a long-standing MP to celebrate his sixty years in Parliament. At this point a weathervane was added in the style of the Ripon hornblower. A plaque was added soon afterwards, which misleadingly implies that William was the builder of the monument.

Danby Hall

Danby Hall is a historic building near Thornton Steward, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The country house was originally constructed in the 14th century as a pele tower, perhaps with a wing attached. The house passed to the Scrope family, who greatly enlarged the building in 1658. The building was greatly altered by Joseph Hansom in 1855, the work including a new garden front. Local tradition claims that the building was reduced from three storeys to two, although its development is not entirely clear. While the work was underway, a secret room was discovered with a cache of weapons, supposedly concealed in support of Bonnie Prince Charlie during the Jacobite rising of 1745. The building was grade I listed in 1967. The house is built of stone and has a Welsh slate roof with coped gables and finials. It has two storeys and an H-shaped plan. The entrance front has a range of five bays, the second and fourth bays projecting, and long flanking cross wings, above which is a pierced and balustraded parapet, at one point with pierced initials and a date, and the windows are cross windows. On the right wing is a 14th-century pele tower with mullioned windows and an embattled parapet. The garden front has eleven bays, and in the centre is a five-sided two-storey canted bay window. The end bays are square and are surmounted by octagonal turrets. Inside, there is a 17th-century staircase, and the drawing room has panelling and plasterwork of a similar date. The stable block was built in the early 18th century and is grade II listed. It is built of stone, with quoins, and hipped stone slate roofs. It forms three ranges round a courtyard and has two storeys. The main range has seven bays, the middle three bays taller and projecting. In the centre is a coach arch, partly infilled, and containing a doorway with a Baroque surround, a pulvinated frieze and an ogee scroll pediment. Above it is an oculus in a moulded surround containing an inscribed sundial. On the roof is a cupola with a clock, a lead ogee roof and a weathervane. Elsewhere, there are sash windows, stable doors and other doorways, and coach and carriage openings. Adjoining the left wing are stone gate piers, each with a cornice and a ball finial.
