Gillingwood Hall
Gillingwood Hall

Gillingwood Hall is a historic building in Gilling West, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The first Gillingwood Hall was a country house, built by the Wharton family in the early 17th century. It was partly rebuilt in the mid 18th century, possibly to the designs of Daniel Garrett. The house burned down in 1750, although various outbuildings survived. In about 1800, a farmhouse was built on the site, also named "Gillingwood Hall". The farmhouse was grade II listed in 1969. The farmhouse is built of stone, with a T-shaped plan. The main block has two storeys, three bays, and a stone slate roof with stone coping. It has a sill band, and in the centre is a re-used doorcase with an architrave and a fanlight, over which is a blank panel, and a pediment on consoles, and in the upper floor are sash windows. To the right is a lower two-storey bay that has a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves. Further to the right is a single-storey bay, and at the rear is a wing on the right. The front doorway of the old hall survives, set into a wall. It has a rounded arch, and an archivolt rising from capitals. This is surrounded by fluted Roman Doric engaged columns, and a Doric entablature with guttae, triglyphs, metopes with paterae, and mutules with an acanthus motif, surmounted by a pediment. The stone wall extends for about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) on each side, and part of a window survives in the right wall. The structure is grade II listed.

St Agatha's Church, Gilling West
St Agatha's Church, Gilling West

St Agatha's Church is an Anglican church in Gilling West, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was originally built in the late 11th century, as a small rectangular building with a west tower. In the 14th century, the nave was altered, and a vestry was added on the north side of the chancel. Around this time, a new chancel arch and south aisle were added, followed later in the century by a north aisle. The tower was heightened in the late 15th century, when the windows were also altered. In 1845, the church was restored by Ignatius Bonomi and John Augustus Cory, who added a second north aisle and a stair turret. The building was grade I listed in 1969. The church is built of stone and has roofs of Welsh slate, stone slate and lead. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, a south aisle, a south porch, inner and outer north aisles, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a five-sided south stair turret with a pyramidal roof, chamfered bands, a three-light west window, a clock face on the east side, straight-headed bell openings, an embattled parapet, and a central weathercock. In the porch are several pre-Conquest carved stones and some later Mediaeval stones, including a grave cover. The nave roof is 15th century, while most of the fittings are 19th century. There is a black marble monument to Henry and Isabelle Boynton, dating from about 1531, and assorted 18th- and 19th-century wall monuments.
