The watermill was built in the early 19th century by the Wilberforce family, in the grounds of Markington Hall, with a mill race off Markington Beck. It was probably built to replace High Mill, at the other end of the village. It was worked as a corn mill, and from the early 1900s it was run by J. Ross & Sons, who mostly produced animal feed. It was powered by water until 1967, when it was converted into a garage and office. The building was Grade II listed in 1986. The mill is built of stone and rubble, with sandstone and limestone quoins, paired gutter brackets, and a Westmorland slate roof with gable copings.

Inside, most the machinery survives, including the breastshot wheel, gearing, cogs, and grindstones.

Markington Hall is a historic building in Markington, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was built in the 17th century, and altered in the 18th century. It replaced an earlier property, from which late 15th-century outbuildings survive, part of which has served as a chapel in the past. In the 1920s and 1930s, the house was extended to the rear, and the interior was restored and altered. William Wilberforce owned the house, letting it out to tenants, and it has remained in his family since; in the 21st century using the grounds and outbuildings for holiday lets. It has been Grade II listed since 1952, and the outbuildings are separately Grade II listed. The house is built of gritstone and limestone, with moulded floor and eaves bands, and a stone slate roof. It has a two-storey three-bay hall range, and three-storey cross-wings with coped gables and shaped kneelers. In the centre is a doorway in an architrave, flanked by mullioned windows, and on the upper floor are sash windows. Elsewhere, most of the windows are mullioned. The barn and the outbuildings are built of sandstone, limestone and cobble, and have pantile roofs, that of the barn with eaves courses of stone slate. The barn has a timber framed core, five bays and side aisles. On the front are quoins, a large doorway, and blocked slit vents. The chapel range projects at right angles on the left, and contains doorways and paired pointed windows. Low Mill lies in the grounds of the hall.

Studley Royal Park is an estate in North Yorkshire, England. The site has an area of 800 acres (323 ha) and includes an 18th-century landscaped garden; the ruins of Fountains Abbey; Fountains Hall, a Jacobean mansion; and the Victorian St Mary's church, designed by William Burges. Studley Royal House, around which the park and gardens were designed, burned down in 1946. The park, as Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey, has been designated a World Heritage Site. It has also been designated a grade I listed park and garden by Historic England, and various structures within it are individually listed. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Fountains estate was owned by the Gresham, Proctor, and Messenger families. At the same time, the adjacent Studley estate was separately held by the Mallorie (or Mallory) and then Aislabie families, after the marriage of Mary Mallory and George Aislabie. The estates were combined on 22 December 1767, when William Aislabie purchased the Fountains estate from John Messenger. In 1966, the property came into public ownership after its purchase by West Riding County Council. In 1983, it was acquired by the National Trust. The gardens and park reflect every stage in the evolution of English garden fashion, from the late 17th century to the 1780s and beyond. Most unusually, both John and William embraced new garden fashions by extending their designed landscape rather than replacing and remaking outmoded parts. As a result, the cumulative whole is a catalogue of significant landscaping styles.

Quarry Moor is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or SSSI, at the south edge of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England, and adjacent to the A61 road. It contains an outcrop of Magnesian Limestone, exposed by former quarrying. 255 million years ago this limestone was the peripheral sediment of a tropical sea. The land was donated in 1945 to the people of Ripon by the town's mayor, Alderman Thomas Fowler Spence, a varnish manufacturer. The land was notified as an SSSI in 1986 because its calcareous grassland supported a large diversity of plant species. The site features a Schedule 8 protected plant, thistle broomrape. The land is protected as a nature reserve, and it is also managed as a recreational area. Therefore, its calcareous grass area is fenced off for protection and study, but it also contains a car park, information signs, a children's play area, accessible paths, benches, and dog waste bins.
