Gisborough Priory is a ruined Augustinian priory in Guisborough in the current borough of Redcar and Cleveland, North Yorkshire, England. It was founded in 1119 as the Priory of St Mary by the Norman feudal magnate Robert de Brus, also an ancestor of the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce. It became one of the richest monastic foundations in England with grants from the crown and bequests from de Brus, other nobles and gentry and local people of more modest means. Much of the Romanesque Norman priory was destroyed in a fire in 1289. It was rebuilt in the Gothic style on a grander scale over the following century. Its remains are regarded as among the finest surviving examples of early Gothic architecture in England.The priory prospered until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1540, when it was abolished along with England's other monastic communities. The priory buildings were demolished and the stone re-used in other buildings in Guisborough. The east end of the priory church was left standing with its great window forming a distinctive arch, a well-known landmark used as a symbol for Guisborough. It became part of the estate of the Chaloner family, who acquired it in 1550. The east window was preserved by them as part of a Romantic vista adjoining their seat, Gisborough Hall, from which the priory takes its idiosyncratically spelled name. It is owned by the Chaloners but is in the care of English Heritage as a scheduled monument.Since the 19th century archaeological excavations have taken place in the priory grounds, though a substantial part of the site has not yet been investigated. In addition to the east window, surviving visible fragments of the complex include the lower courses of the west range, a vaulted undercroft, a gateway and a 14th-century dovecote still in use today. The adjoining Priory Gardens, laid out by the Chaloners in the 18th century, are under restoration by a volunteer group. The priory ruins and gardens are open to the public throughout the year.

Gisborough Hall is a 19th-century mansion house, now a hotel, at Guisborough, Redcar and Cleveland, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The manor of Gisborough and the site of the dissolved Priory of Gisborough were acquired after the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Sir Thomas Chaloner in about 1558. He built a new manor house adjacent to the Priory ruins. His grandson was Sir William Chaloner, Bt. The manor house was demolished in the early 19th century when the family moved to Long Hull. In 1842 Admiral Thomas Chaloner inherited the estate and in 1856 created the present mansion house. The design of the hall is attributed to William Milford Teulon by Historic England, though his elder brother, Samuel Sanders Teulon is listed as the architect by the 1966 North Yorkshire edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides.The house, in Jacobean style, presents a main south front of two stories and attics behind balustrades, with seven bays, the central and two end bays being canted and gabled. On his death without issue, the Admiral left the estate to his great-nephew Richard Godolphin Walmesley Long (younger brother of Viscount Long) who in 1888 changed his surname to Chaloner. He was created Baron Gisborough in 1917 and died at the Hall in 1938. The family lived in the Hall until the Second World War when it was requisitioned by the Army. After the war, it was leased to North Riding Council as a nursing home. In 1972 it became a non-residential banqueting house and restaurant. In 2002, it was refurbished and extended by the family and now operates as a privately owned four-star Country House Hotel and wedding and conference venue with 71 bedrooms, the award-winning Chaloner's restaurant, De Brus Bar & Grill. The hall is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England as is the former stable block and its adjoining screen wall and gate piers to the west of the hall. The North and South lodges of the hall are also Grade II listed, as are the entrance gates and boundary walls to the south of the south lodge.

Hutton Gate was a railway station on the Middlesbrough and Guisborough Railway. It was opened on 25 February 1854 and closed along with the entire Nunthorpe-Guisborough branch on 2 March 1964. The station stands on Hutton Lane, just east of its junction with The Avenue. Originally, the station was exclusively for the use of the Pease family at the nearby Hutton Hall; the family owned the major iron ore mines in the region at the time and the railway line was designed to service these mines. Although a private station, excursion traffic was allowed to detrain at Hutton Gate, such as Liberal Association specials from Thornaby in the 1890s. These were run for a speaking event held in a marquee on the lawn outside Hutton Hall.The station was closed between May 1864 and July 1881, and then again from October 1903 to January 1904. It was purchased from the Pease family by the North Eastern Railway (NER) in 1904, and opened for public use. It served Hutton Village and, later, the Guisborough suburb of Hutton Lowcross. The station had its staffing withdrawn in 1961, and was listed for closure in March 1963. Full closure to all traffic came in March 1964.Following the branch's closure, the track was removed but the station remains intact and is now a private house. The modern road Pease Court begins where the station's level crossing once gave access to Hutton Hall.
