Acaster Malbis

Holy Trinity Church is an active Anglican church in Acaster Malbis, a village in the City of York, in England. It is a grade I listed building. A church has existed on this site since at least the 12th century. It was rebuilt in limestone in about 1320, by the Fairfax family. It has a cruciform plan, with a south porch, with a pointed arch. The nave is of three bays, the chancel of two, and each transept a single bay. The windows to the north and south have three lights, with a larger, five-light window at the west end, and a seven-light window at the east end. They are deeply set in arched reveals. Each light has an ogee arch, design which Nikolaus Pevsner describes as initially appearing to be a later alteration, but actually contemporary with the original construction of the church. Above the windows in the west and south gables are quatrefoil windows, a trefoil in the north transept, and a sexfoil in the east gable. The east window has stained glass of 1320, which Pevsner describes as "very fine", and some more in the south transept window.Inside, there is a mediaeval font, sections of a mediaeval wall painting on the north wall, and a piscina with ogee arches. There is also a fourteenth-century effigy of a knight, who is thought to be John Malbys. The wooden pulpit is 17th-century, described by Pevsner as "exceptionally elaborate".In 1886, the church was restored by C. Hodgson Fowler, and he added a wooden bell tower and spire. In 1967, it was grade I listed. A new stained glass window was added in 2019, to a design by Janet Parkin, featuring woodland creatures.

Copmanthorpe Preceptory was a medieval monastic house in North Yorkshire, England. The manor of Copmanthorpe was given to the Knights Templar by William Malbys with the earliest reference to the Templars ownership being from a confirmatory charter by William de Ros who died in 1258. In 1292 the preceptor of Copmanthorpe, who at this time was Robert de Reygate, is recorded as being the keeper of the mills beside York Castle.

One of the rarities is the tansy beetle, which feeds on the leaves of the tansy plant.

Naburn railway station was a railway station which served the village of Naburn, south of York, on the East Coast Main Line. It closed to passengers in 1953 and to goods services in 1964; the station building was a hostel for a short period of time before being purchased as a private residence and is in the process of being refurbished. In 1983 the Selby Diversion was opened which led to the closure of the railway line through Naburn; the trackbed is now used as a cycle path between York and Selby and is part of the National Cycle Network and the Trans Pennine Trail.

Bell Hall is a grade I listed building, in Naburn, in the rural southern part of the city of York, in England. The house was built in 1680 for John Hewley, in pink-orange brick, with stone dressings, a rendered basement, and a slate roof. As built, it was rectangular in plan, approximately 60 by 45 feet, with entrances on the south and west fronts, each of which was symmetrical. The architect is not known with certainty, but is suggested by Historic England to be John Etty, father of William Etty. The ground floor contained a substantial entrance hall, a parlour, a dining room and a library; the first floor a drawing room and several sitting rooms; and the basement accommodation for servants and a kitchen. In about 1717, a kitchen wing was added on the eastern side.Both the main and rear staircases survive from the original build, and alterations have been relatively minor, such as the replacement of entrance doors and external steps in the 19th century, and 20th century sundials added above each entrance. Original panelling and fireplaces survive in most rooms. In the entrance hall is a Jacobean overmantel, brought from Deighton Hall, and a side room has an overmantel brought in about 1750 from a house on St Saviourgate in York. The old drawing room has several painted wooden panels, probably of French or Flemish origin.The house was listed at grade I in 1952.

Bishopthorpe Garth is a grade II listed house on the edge of Bishopthorpe, a village south of York, in England. The house was designed by 1908 by Walter Brierley, for the colliery owner Arthur Toward Wilson. Patrick Nuttgens described it as a precursor of Brierley's work at Goddards House and Garden. Its gardens were designed by Gertrude Jekyll. Brierley also designed a gatehouse on Sim Balk Lane, consisting of two cottages with a carriage arch between them. Various additions to the house were made over the years, and both the house and gatehouse were grade II listed in 1985. In the early 2000s, it was owned by Kevin Linfoot, a property developer. In 2022, it was placed on the market for £4.75 million, although this was later reduced to £3.5 million, including the gatehouse. The arts and crafts house is built of hand-made bricks, some with mouldings, and a pantile roof. It has two wings with two storeys, the left-hand one of two bays, and the right-hand one of a single bay. The central section is also of two bays, with a single main storey and an attic. The entrance is through a panelled oak door, and the windows throughout are leaded casements. The interior is partly in the Jacobethan style, with many original features, including an open-well oak staircase.The gatehouse is similarly built of hand-made brick, with some render, and a pantile roof. It is a single storey, with an attic, and the walls bow towards the carriage entrance.

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Bishopthorpe, a village in the City of York in England. Bishopthorpe had a church from the 13th century, with Old St Andrew's Church dating from 1768. However, the building regularly flooded, and following a major inundation in 1892, it was decided to construct a new building, on a site further from the river. It was designed by C. Hodgson Fowler, and work started in February 1898. In December, the Archbishop of York ascended scaffolding to affix a cross to the gable end of the roof. The church was consecrated on 25 July 1899. The construction cost £5,893, more than budgeted, which meant that more fundraising was required before a tower could be added. Ultimately, the archbishop personally paid for a tower, which was constructed in 1903. The church is built of sandstone, with a tile roof. It is in the Gothic Revival style. It consists of a nave with aisles, a south porch, and a chancel with a south aisle and north vestry. There is a tower at the west end, with three stages, diagonal buttresses, and battlements. Most of the windows have Perpendicular tracery. It has been Grade II listed since 1985.

Old St Andrew's Church is a ruined building in Bishopthorpe, a village south of York in England. The first church on the site was built in the early 13th century. It was cruciform, and had a central tower. By 1768, it was in very poor condition, and was demolished on the orders of Robert Hay Drummond, with only its foundations retained. He commissioned Thomas Atkinson to design a new church, which was largely built of brick, and retained the cruciform plan. Its windows were relocated from the chapel at Cawood Castle, and their glass was designed by William Wailes. However, located next to the River Ouse, it regularly flooded.In 1842, Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt paid £2,000 to replace the roof and floor, add a south vestry, and porches to each transept. He also built a stone wall on the riverbank, to reduce the risk of floods. Gas lighting was added in 1868, a new organ was installed in 1870, and the pews were replaced in 1872. In 1892, the church suffered a further major flood, and it was decided to build a new St Andrew's Church, away from the river. The new church was completed in 1899, and the old church was largely demolished, with just the west front retained. In 1985, the ruin was Grade II listed.The ruin is built of brick, covered in Magnesian Limestone. It is in the Gothick style, including a Tudor-style central doorway, with a three-light pointed window above. Other than the west front, the foundations of the nave, transepts and chancel survive, as does the head of one window.
