Moulton Manor is a historic building in Moulton, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The manor house was rebuilt in about 1570, and was slightly altered in the 17th century. A local tradition states that James VI and I spent a night in the house. By the early 20th century, it served as a farmhouse, but it was restored, extended and altered in 1938. The building was grade I listed in 1951. The house is built of stone on plinths, with chamfered rusticated quoins, and pantile roofs with shaped kneelers and stone copings. It has three storeys and a part basement, and an H-shaped plan, with a middle range of three bays, and two-bay gabled cross-wings. Five steps with side parapets lead up to the central doorway with a decorated architrave, a moulded frieze and a stepped hood mould. Most of the windows are cross windows, some with pediments. Above the doorway is a semicircular window with keystones, and above the central range and return is a parapet and a balustrade with pedestals. Inside the house, the entrance hall has 17th-century panelling and a stone architrave around the fireplace. The room to the left has early panelling, with pilasters between, the capitals of which depict carpenters' tools, and a cornice with frieze below. The kitchen has a large fireplace and chimney, with a possible priest hole. There is a 17th-century staircase with barleytwist balusters, above which is a moulded ceiling. On the first floor is a room with an elaborate fireplace with a frieze above, while all the rooms have early doorways and original fireplaces.

Hipswell Hall

Hipswell Hall is a historic building in Hipswell, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building dates from the late 15th century, but it is likely that John Wycliffe was born in an earlier building on the site. It was constructed for the Fulthorpe family, in a similar style to South Cowton Castle but more elegant. In 1559, it passed to the Wandesford family, and in 1596 they enlarged the hall. In about 1840, much of the building was demolished, leaving only the west range. It became used as a farmhouse. In about 1917 a flat-roofed extension was added, reusing some old materials. The building was grade I listed in 1969. The house is constructed of stone, partly roughcast, with quoins, an embattled parapet, and a stone slate roof. It has two storeys, and projecting from the front is a three-storey tower porch. The porch contains a doorway with a chamfered surround and a lintel with a triangular soffit. Above this is a mullioned window in each floor and a plain parapet. To the left of the porch is a mullioned window in the ground floor and a mullioned and transomed window in the upper floor. To the right is a five-sided two-storey bay window with cinquefoil heads and an embattled parapet with the arms of the Fulthorpes. Between the floors is a traceried panel with a cross moline. The interior has been heavily altered, but an early plaster ceiling with an armorial shield survives in the ground floor bay window.

Walburn Hall

Walburn Hall is a historic building in Walburn, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The manor house was built in the late 15th century for the Siggiswick family, perhaps incorporating some elements of a 12th-century predecessor. A large cross-range was added in the late 16th century. Mary, Queen of Scots is said to have stayed at the property. At some point, much of the original section was demolished and the building became a farmhouse. In the early 19th century, the house was restored by Timothy Hutton, who removed most of the original internal features. The building was Grade I listed in 1969. The house is built of stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and an irregular L-shaped plan with two small wings at the rear. The main range on the east side has a gabled tower porch containing a doorway, and a chamfered mullioned window, above which is a window with a four-centred arch, all with hood moulds. The gable has square kneelers, ridged coping, and a square pedestal finial. Most of the windows are mullioned or mullioned and transomed. Inside, the living room has a triangular-headed fireplace moved from elsewhere, and one upstairs room has Elizabethan panelling and an 18th-century chimneypiece. There is some stained glass, mostly by William Peckitt, along with one 15th-century roundel. The 15th-century courtyard walls are Grade II listed. The walls are in stone, and about 4 metres (13 ft) in height. The front wall, which is about 12 metres (39 ft) in length, has feather-edged coping, and contains a doorway with a chamfered surround, a segmental arch and a hood mould.

In about 1300, a vestry was added to the north of the chancel, and the chancel arch was widened. In 1397, the tower and south porch were built, while in the late 15th century, the clerestory and south aisle of the nave were constructed. The church was restored in the 19th century, and was grade I listed in 1969. The church is built of stone with stone slate roofs, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel with north vestries and a west tower.

On its right is a stair turret, in the bottom stage is a west window with a pointed arch, the middle stage contains clock faces, and the bell openings have two lights. Above them is a string course with gargoyles and shields, and an embattled parapet. The tower has two bells. One is inscribed with the phrase Venite exultemus domino (Latin for "Let us come and praise the Lord", a quotation from Psalm 95), "SS 1664" (the year the bell was added), and the initials of the master founder, Samuel Smith of York. A monument in the church commemorates a former rector, Dr John Dakyn (1497–1558), who was an archdeacon of East Riding. He took part in the Pilgrimage of Grace (and is a noted chronicler of it), but wrote that he "managed to exculpate himself". Other notable rectors of the parish include George Fitzhugh (died 1505), who was a chancellor of Cambridge University and a dean of Lincoln; William Rokeby (died 1521), who was a lord chancellor of Ireland; and Alan Percy (circa 1480–1560), who was a master of St John's College, Cambridge. The church also has a monument to Thomas Wycliffe, who died in 1821; he was the last surviving male descendant of the religious reformer John Wycliffe.

The Pyramid, Castle Howard

The Pyramid is a folly on the Castle Howard estate, in North Yorkshire, England. The Pyramid lies on St Anne's Hill, in line with the centre of the house at Castle Howard. It was built in 1728, and was probably designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor. Hawksmoor had already built a pyramid in nearby Pretty Wood, and in 1732 proposed one clad in copper or silver, which remained unbuilt. It was grade I listed in 1954. In 2015 it was restored, the work including rebuilding the apex, replacing vermiculated stone, and cleaning and repointing the facades. The pyramid and the surrounding piers are built of limestone. The central pyramid, with sides of about 9 metres (30 ft), stands on a low podium, with some vermiculated rustication. The four surrounding piers each has a square base on a plinth, with a hollow column pierced by oval apertures, and surmounted by a stepped capital. Inside the period is a beehive vault containing a large, flat bust of Lord William Howard. See also Grade I listed buildings in North Yorkshire (district) Listed buildings in Henderskelfe References
Pyramid Gate

The Pyramid Gate, also known as the Pyramid Gatehouse, is a historic building at Castle Howard, in North Yorkshire, in England. The gate was designed by John Vanbrugh in 1716, and was completed in 1719. It forms part of a sequence of structures on the main route to the house at Castle Howard, and is north of the Carrmire Gate and south of The Obelisk. It is a variation on a design which Vanbrugh unsuccessfully proposed for gates at Kings Weston House. Vaughan Hart describes its crowning pyramid as "evok[ing] the idea of death at the very entrance to the estate". Walls were added either side of the gatehouse by Thomas Robinson in 1756. The left wing suffered a fire in 1923, and its interior was later entirely replaced. At the time, the building was used as a hotel. The main house was badly damaged during the Second World War, and so in 1949 George Howard, Baron Howard of Henderskelfe, temporarily moved into the gatehouse. The building was grade I listed in 1954. The gate is built of limestone on a chamfered plinth, and has a pyramidal stone slate roof surmounted by a pyramid. It contains a round arch with an impost band on consoles, and a band, above which is a coat of arms. There is machicolation over the arch with a keystone and an inscribed plaque, reading "Carolus Howard comes Carliolensis hoc condidit anno dni mdccxix". The flanking wings have two storeys and eight bays, the second and outer bays projecting under a pediment with a ball finial. In the ground floor are round-arched sash windows forming an arcade with an impost band and keystones. The upper floor contains sash windows in the left wing, and casements in the right wing. At the rear is a balcony on a Tuscan column, an L-shaped flight of stairs and a machicolated square turret.

St Michael's Church, Barton-le-Street

St Michael's Church is the parish church of Barton-le-Street, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A church in Barton-le-Street was mentioned in the Domesday Book. A successor was built in Barton-le-Street in or around the 1160s, which the Victoria County History states "seems to have been a remarkably rich example... the sculptured stones preserved in the present building being of a very unusual character". In 1871, the church was completely rebuilt, in the Norman style, to designs by Perkin and Son. The current church occupies the same footprint as the medieval one, and incorporates almost all the sculpture from that structure. Historic England state that "this sculpture is without close known parallels in England", instead being similar to examples in Western France, such as the Church of Notre-Dame la Grande, Poitiers. It has been Grade I listed since 1954. The church is built of limestone, with a slate roof. It consists of a four-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, with a combined vestry and organ chamber to the south. There is a north porch, and a bellcote at the west end. The windows are round-headed, and the walls are supported by buttresses. The capitals of the buttresses are connected by corbel tables with about 100 carvings in the 12th century style, made for the Victorian rebuilding, by Charles Mawer. The north doorway is believed to have been the south door of the medieval church, and it is surrounded by a mixture of 12th century and Victorian carvings. Inside, most of the carving is medieval, with scenes including the Adoration of the Magi and the Labours of the Months, much showing Anglo-Scandinavian influence. Inside the church is a medieval piscina on a Norman base. The altar rails and pulpit are wooden and neo-Gothic, designed by William Matthews. There is a stone and alabaster font in similar style, and Gothic wall panelling, along with a later Gothic organ case, designed by Temple Moore. The floor tiles were designed by William Godwin. The stained glass windows are in a mixture of styles, that in the north and south of the chancel is by Barnett & Son, while the east windows are by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. In the nave, there is a triptych which serves as a World War I memorial. See also Grade I listed buildings in North Yorkshire (district) Listed buildings in Barton-le-Street References
The Mausoleum, Castle Howard

The Mausoleum is a historic building on the Castle Howard estate in North Yorkshire, in England. The mausoleum was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor between 1726 and 1729, its design inspired by the Tomb of Caecilia Metella and the alleged Tomb of Lars Porsena. It was constructed by William Etty from 1729 to 1742, and bastion walls were added by Daniel Garrett. The interior carvings were undertaken by Charles Mitley. The building was commissioned by Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle, to commemorate his family's history. Horace Walpole was highly impressed, and described it as a building which "would tempt one to be buried alive". It was grade I listed in 1954. The building is constructed of sandstone with a lead roof, and consists of a circular mortuary chapel with a crypt on a square plinth, on which is a peristyle of 20 Doric columns and an entablature with a domed roof. The entrance to the crypt has an ornamental wrought iron gate with a channelled lintel and a massive keystone, flanked by pilasters and a double flight of steps. The bastion walls have squared rusticated projections between which are semicircular projections, with Greek key friezes, decorated gates and lancet railings. Inside, the crypt is vaulted and contains 63 catacombs. The cella has Corinthian columns recessed into the walls, with an elaborate entablature and a coffered ceiling.

New River Bridge, Castle Howard

The New River Bridge is a historic bridge in the grounds of Castle Howard, in North Yorkshire, in England. The New River was widened in the 1730s, as part of the landscaping of the Castle Howard estate. In 1744, the bridge was constructed to take visitors across the river, probably to a design by Daniel Garrett. Tim Richardson describes it as "perfectly in scale with its surroundings", but as a result "not quite... all of a piece with the rest" of the buildings on the estate. It was grade I listed in 1954. The Baroque bridge is constructed of sandstone, and consists of three stepped segmental arches with rusticated voussoirs, the central arch with a mask keystone. The cutwaters have banded rustication, and flanking the central arch are niches in architraves with a pulvinated frieze and consoles supporting a pediment. Over the central arch is a cornice on brackets, a low parapet, and a central balustrade with coping. The approaches are ramped, with balustrading, rusticated piers in the centre, and square-section end piers.
