Snainton Preceptory

Foulbridge Preceptory was a preceptory of the Knights Templar at Foulbridge near Snainton in North Yorkshire, England of which there is little information. Upon the Dissolution of the Monasteries it possessed the estates of Foukebridge, Allerston, and Wydale. Richard de Hales is the only preceptor known by name due to his arrest in 1308. Foulbridge Farm now stands on the grounds of the former preceptory and has incorporated some remains of the latter.

The River Derwent flows nearby. Land in the area formerly belonged to Rievaulx Abbey and Foulbridge Preceptory was located here. In medieval times the manor belonged to the Templars, before John de Dalton took over ownership in 1308.

St Stephen's Church is an Anglican church in Snainton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Snainton has long been part of the parish of All Saints' Church, Brompton, but a small chapel of ease was constructed in the 12th century. It was a small, rectangular, building, with a bellcote and an elaborate doorway. It was demolished in the 1830s, and most of its stonework used to construct a new churchyard wall. A replacement church, to a design by John Barry, was completed in 1836. In the early 20th century, it was decorated internally, and an oak chancel screen was erected. The building was grade II listed in 1967. The church is built of sandstone on a chamfered plinth, with quoins, a moulded eaves cornice, and a slate roof with coped gables. It consists of a nave and a chancel in one unit, with a bellcote on the west gable. On the south front is an arched doorway with carved spandrels and a hood mould. To the right are four mullioned and transomed windows with three arched lights, and flat hood moulds. Inside is the 12th-century font from the old chapel, which is plain and circular.

The Old Abbey is a historic building in Yedingham, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Yedingham Priory was a Benedictine nunnery, which was founded in the 12th century. The nunnery was dissolved during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. In the late 17th century, a farmhouse was constructed on part of the site. This was substantially altered in the 18th century. At this time, a wing including a cart shed and barn was added. This section incorporates a surviving wall from the abbey, believed to be the south wall of its church. There were further alterations in the 19th century, and many of the windows and doors were replaced in the 20th century. It was grade II* listed in 1953, and also forms part of a scheduled monument. In 2016, it was added to Historic England's Buildings at Risk Register, but was later restored. The building is constructed of sandstone, with pantile roofs, and has coped gables and shaped kneelers. It has two storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a cross-wing. At the rear of the outbuilding is a blocked round arch of voussoirs with a moulded impost band, and a bracketed holy water stoup with a trefoiled canopy. Inside, a second, pointed, arch is visible, and there are also two 18th-century plank doors.

Yedingham Priory was a Benedictine priory in North Yorkshire, England dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was home to Benedictine nuns from 1163 to 1539. The priory, also known as Little Mareis, was co founded by Helewise de Clere and Roger II de Clere. There were originally eight or nine nuns, but in time there were twelve with a prioress. In about 1512, a fourteen year old girl called Elizabeth Lutton became a Benedictiine nun. For twelve years the convent's authorities thought her situation was fine although it was said that she privately complained that she had become a nun despite her wishes. In 1526 Agnes Brayerdricke succeeded Dame Elizabeth White as head of the convent and Brayerdricke soon discovered that Elizabeth Lutton was pregnant. Brayerdricke had her separated from the other nuns until the child was born and she was then allowed to resume her place as a nun. Robert Constable of Flamborough visited Yedingham Priory where he learned about Elizabeth Lutton. After she was taken back into the priory Constable encouraged Thomas Scaseby to elope with Elizabeth Lutton in 1531. Scaseby may have been the father of the child and he married Lutton. Constable's motives for getting involved was that Elizabeth was a potential heiress and the marriage was to Constable's advantage in his own territorial disputes. Robert Constable was executed at Hull for sundry crimes on 6 July 1537 being hanged in chains over Beverley gate at Hull. The priory was suppressed in 1539. One wall, believed to be the south wall of the church, survives as part of the Old Abbey, Yedingham.
