The earliest parts of the current church date from the late 11th century, and consist of part of the north and south walls of the nave, along with the chancel arch. The chancel was rebuilt in the 12th century, and in the 13th century, the nave was lengthened to the west by about 17 feet (5.2 m). In the 14th century, the angle between the chancel and nave was reconstructed, with two windows inserted. In the 15th century, a tower was added at the west end, and the west wall was rebuilt, with buttresses added. The church was restored in 1886 and 1887, with a new east window installed. The building was Grade I listed in 1954. The nave and chancel are built in sandstone and gritstone incorporating re-used Roman masonry, and the tower is in limestone. The church consists of a two-bay nave, a single-bay chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, string courses, diagonal buttresses, a round-headed west doorway with a moulded surround and a hood mould, above which is a five-light Perpendicular window.

Bossall is a hamlet in North Yorkshire, England with fewer than 100 residents. The village was part of the Ryedale district between 1974 and 2023. It is now administered by North Yorkshire Council. The Church of St Botolph was built in the 12th century with later alterations and is a Grade I listed building. The term Bosall was drawn from the name of 7th-century bishop Bosa of York who was said to have built a church here. The community is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Boscele and as Bosciale in the hundred of Bulford; at that time, the property was held by "Hugh, son of Baldric" or Hugh fitzBaldric and included a church. In 1086, there were 19 residents in approximately 6.9 households, in addition to a priest. This property produced an annual income of "3 pounds in 1086; 2 pounds 10 shillings in 1066". Records from 1823 indicate that there were only three houses and a population of 31, increasing to 76 by 1842; archaeological evidence showed that the village was previously much larger. It is thought to have been devastated by the Black Death in 1349. Centuries ago, the community included a quadrangular castle built in the 1300s by Paulinus de Bossall which was replaced by the current manor built in the 17th century; stone from the original castle walls was used in that project. By 1923, there was no village per-se here, "the church having in close proximity only the rectory, a modern building, and Bossall Hall".

St Botolph's Church is the parish church of Bossall, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The current church, dedicated to St Botolph, dates from around 1180, though as many as three earlier churches may have occupied the site. One of these is thought to have been built by the Bosa of York. The church is cruciform and approximately 94 feet (29 m) in length. The transepts, nave and part of the tower are original, but the chancel was rebuilt in the 13th century and alterations were later made to the upper part of the tower. The Borthwick Institute holds copies of the parish records which date to the early 17th century. The Church of England records include this background information about the parish: A vicarage was ordained at Bossall in 1229. The rectory and advowson of the church initially descended with the manor of Bossall but by 1378 it had passed to the Nevill family. At some point between 1378 and 1386 it was alienated to Durham Priory by John Nevill for the maintenance of Durham College, Oxford. The advowson was fully appropriated to the college c.1404, and the college retained it until the Dissolution of the Monasteries when it was granted by the King to the Dean and Chapter of Durham. A report published in 1839 states that the church was suffering from neglect at that time, although the interior walls had been recently cleaned. The vicarage, a white Elizabethan house built in 1838 and the home of Rev. Bolton Simpson at that time, was located nearby. It was restored in 1859, during which process the west gable was rebuilt, and a south porch was added. The church was Grade I listed in 1953. The church is built of limestone and sandstone and has a Welsh slate roof. It has a cruciform plan, consisting of a nave with a south porch, north and south transepts, a chancel, and a tower at the crossing. The tower, nave and transepts have a string course and a corbel table. The south porch has a moulded round-headed arch with four orders of shafts with dogtooth and stylised flower decoration, and waterleaf capitals. The doorway in the north porch is similar, but with only one order. Many of the windows are lancets, while others are Perpendicular, and there are a couple of round-headed windows. Inside the church is a 14th-century font with a 17th-century cover, and a painting of the Royal Arms from 1710. Monuments include a brass figure commemorating Robert Constable, a former chancellor of Dunelm, who died in the 1540s, and several memorials to members of the Belt family.

Kirkham Abbey railway station was a minor railway station serving the village of Kirkham in North Yorkshire, England on the York to Scarborough Line and was opened on 5 July 1845 by the York and North Midland Railway. It closed on 22 September 1930. The station was originally just named Kirkham, but the 'Abbey' suffix was added on 1 June 1875, to take into account the proximity of the ruins of Kirkham Priory.

Bossall Hall is a historic building in Bossall, a village in North Yorkshire in England. A quadrangular castle was constructed in Bossall by Paulinus de Bossall in the 14th century, surrounded by a moat. It was demolished in the early 17th century by Robert Belt, who constructed a new hall within the moat, probably reusing building materials from the castle. It was partly rebuilt in the 18th century, and its external appearance now dates to this period; Historic England describes it as "not outstanding". The building was Grade II listed in 1953, and the site, including the largely-intact moat, was made a scheduled monument in 1993. It was put up for sale in 2020, with a guide price of more than £2 million. The house is built of brick, with an M-shaped tile roof. There are two storeys and attics, a double-depth plan, eight bays, and rear service wings. The doorway has a divided fanlight, the windows are sashes with flat brick arches, and in the attics are five dormers with casements. There are two projecting chimney stacks flanked by small 17th-century casement windows with decorative brick pediments. There are drainpipe heads dated 1726 and 1798. Inside, there is an 18th-century wooden staircase, and wooden panelling in the central room, of similar date.

The ruins of Kirkham Priory are situated on the banks of the River Derwent, at Kirkham, North Yorkshire, England. The Augustinian priory was founded in the 1120s by Walter l'Espec, lord of nearby Helmsley, who also built Rievaulx Abbey. The priory was surrendered in 8 December 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Legend has it that Kirkham was founded in remembrance of l'Espec's only son who had died nearby as a consequence of his horse being startled by a boar. The area was later used to test the D-Day landing vehicles, and was visited by Winston Churchill. The ruins are now Grade I listed and a scheduled monument in the care of English Heritage.
