All Saints' Church is the parish church of Broughton, Craven, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. No church in Broughton is recorded in the Domesday Book, the first reference to one being in 1120. The oldest part of the church is part of the south wall including the main doorway, which is 12th century. The rest of the church was rebuilt, probably in the early 16th century. In 1873, William Henry Crossland heavily restored the chancel, and rebuilt the roof of the nave. The church was Grade I listed in 1954. Alan Bennett described a visit to the church: "We sit outside listening to the wind streaming through a huge copper beech and talk about this ordinary enough church which has been bound up with great events in the nation's history." The grass in the churchyard is kept down by a small flock of sheep. The church is described as "rather cold in winter". The church is built of stone, with a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel under a continuous roof, a north aisle, a south porch and a west tower, and is in Perpendicular style. The tower has angle buttresses, arched bell openings, gargoyles, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The south doorway has one order of waterleaf capitals and the shafts lost. In the south wall of the chancel is a round-headed priest's door, and the east window has three cusped traceried lights. Inside are two alabaster sculptures of the Virgin Mary, found during the Victorian restoration; various monuments to the Tempest family; and a 12th-century font.

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Gargrave, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was probably originally built in the 16th century, from which period the tower survives. In 1674, the vicar demolished the large rood screen, which doubled as an organ loft. Unfortunately, the screen also played a structural role, and the action caused part of the roof to collapse, and the south aisle to become unusable. It was repaired, but the bulk of the building was later demolished and rebuilt in 1852 by Rhode Hawkins, in the Perpendicular style. It was grade II listed in 1954. The church is built of sandstone, yellowish in the tower, and red elsewhere, the aisle and tower have lead roofs, and the roofs elsewhere are in green slate. The church consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, north and south porches, a chancel, and a west tower. The tower has diagonal buttresses, a three-light west window, above which is a niche, three-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet with eight crocketed pinnacles. Seven windows in the chancel have stained glass by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier.

Carleton Mill is a historic building in Carleton-in-Craven, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. William and John Slingsby leased a mill in Bell Busk in 1841. It proved successful, and in 1849 they were able to construct a small mill in Carleton. In 1861, they built a larger mill in the village, to work cotton. Ownership passed to their sons, Cecil and John Arthur, but the two had a poor working relationship, and in 1930 the business failed. The mill was purchased by the Fattorini family, which used it to run a mail order business. In 1941, it was purchased by the Rover Company, which used it to manufacture aircraft components.
