The church was first built in the late 12th century, with the nave and parts of the south door surviving from this period. A vicarage was built in the 1240s. The church was extended and altered in the 13th and 14th centuries. The vicar was granted funds from Queen Anne's Bounty in 1757, and the church was restored in 1819. The church was again restored in 1860, with the exterior extensively rebuilt, under the patronage of Albert Denison, 1st Baron Londesborough.

Bolton Percy Gatehouse is a historic building in the village of Bolton Percy, southwest of York in England. The gatehouse was built in the late 15th century, as the entrance to a courtyard of buildings including the village rectory. In the late 17th century, the main house was replaced by the current Old Rectory following which, the lower floor of the building was used as stables and as a cowhouse, while the upper floor was used as a granary. In 1799, the Crown Inn was built next to the gatehouse, at which time the western part of the building may have been reduced to one storey. The other buildings around the courtyard were demolished in the 19th century, and the gatehouse declined in importance. By 1938, the passageway through the gatehouse had been boarded up, and the building was disused for many years. It was considered for removal to the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings, but was instead donated to the Bolton Percy Gatehouse Trust and restored on site, from 1972 to 1974. The western part of the building was not included in the restoration, and had partially collapsed by the 1990s. The building was later purchased by the Vivat Trust, which in 2010 converted it into a two-bedroom house, to be used as a holiday let. The trust went bankrupt in 2016, and the property was sold, but continued in use as a holiday home.The building is entirely timber framed, and is built of oak, with infill, over a plinth of Magnesian Limestone. It is two storeys high and three bays wide, one containing the carriage arch. The first floor is jettied. Inside, there are various carvings in the roof braces, including a Tudor rose.

The station was opened in 1937 and during the Second World War was home to air defence aircraft, a role retained by the Station until the 1960s when it became a training station. The last Station Commander of a self-determining RAF Church Fenton was Sqn Ldr David Morris, who had trained on Chipmunk aircraft at RAF Church Fenton in 1973. Sqn Ldr Morris returned to RAF Church Fenton in 1991 as the Officer Commanding Station Services Squadron, to prepare the as then autonomous station for yet another closure, and transfer into the control of RAF Linton on Ouse as a satellite airfield and Enhanced Relief Landing Ground. The gates of the fully independent RAF Church Fenton were closed at 12:00 on 31 December 1992, However, with its assets such as the Officers' Mess subsequently razed to the ground to save on maintenance, and the married quarters and other buildings sold off piecemeal by the MoD, RAF Church Fenton's runways and aviation infrastructure were alienated from the remainder of the administrative site and remained operational until 2013. The satellite airfield Enhanced Relief Landing Ground was sold in 2013 and is now a civilian airfield known as Leeds East Airport.

The Old Vicarage is a historic building in Church Fenton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A vicarage was first endowed in Church Fenton in 1240. The current building probably originated as a 14th-century hall, but in the mid 16th century it was described as being in "ruynes and dikayes", and was partly rebuilt, a cross-wing at the west end replacing a former service wing and solar. From the mid 18th century, it was considered unsuitable for a vicar to inhabit, and so it was leased to other occupiers. A new vicarage was finally built in 1866, the old vicarage being sold and converted into three cottages. In 1923, it was converted back into a single house. It was grade II listed in 1967. In 1982, it was restored, with the dilapidated east end being entirely rebuilt, the west end extended to re-occupy its 16th century footprint, and the hall opened up to the roof. The house has a timber framed core, encased in magnesian limestone and brick, partly rendered, and has a pantile roof with a lower row of stone slates. There is a single tall storey, and a T-shaped plan, with a main range of four bays, and a later rear range. The porch has a tiled roof, and the windows are a mix of casements and horizontally-sliding sashes. Inside, there is much exposed timber framing. The cross-wing has an upper storey, which includes a 16th-century brick fireplace.
