The Old Grammar School is a historic building in Skipton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was probably constructed in the 15th century, as a chapel of the Knights Hospitaller. In 1548, Ermysted's Grammar School moved into the building. It is said that Roundhead troops were accommodated in the building during the English Civil War, and some of their names can still be seen carved in the beams. It was extended around 1700. In 1875, the school moved to a new building; the extension was converted into a private house, while the former chapel spent time as an electricity substation before also becoming a house. Both sections of the building were separately grade II listed in 1952. The former chapel is built of stone, with quoins, and a stone flag roof with moulded coping, springers and finials. It has a single storey and a rectangular plan, the gabled front faces the road, and along the sides are four bays. On the centre of the gabled front is a mullioned and transomed three-light stepped window, to its left is a doorway, and on the gable apex is a small triangular-headed window. Along the sides are cross windows. The extension is built of stone, with two storeys. On the front is a two-storey gabled porch with quoins, containing an arched entrance. The windows on the front have plain surrounds and are mullioned, and at the rear are windows with round-arched lights.

St Andrew's Church is a closed church in Skipton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. A Congregationalist church was first built on the site in 1777, which was replaced by a new building in the mid-19th century. In 1892, a Sunday school was erected to its east, which survives as the church hall. The church was demolished and rebuilt between 1914 and 1916, to a design by James Totty. Historic England describes it as "a striking example of a late Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts-style church that retains a complete and coherent scheme". It was built for the Congregational Union of England and Wales, but as it opened during World War I, its congregation was smaller than anticipated. By 1975, the congregation had further declined, and it formed a partnership with the Skipton United Reformed Church, Broughton Road Methodist Church and Gargrave Road Methodist Church, the four thereafter sharing St Andrew's Church. The building was grade II listed in 2021. The church closed in 2023, the congregation moving to Trinity Church in the town. In 2025, it was marketed for sale for £695,000. The church is built of sandstone and limestone, with slate roofs, and is in Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts styles. It has a cruciform plan, with semi-octagonal half-turrets, a sanctuary, a porch and a vestry. The entrance front facing the road has a decorated gable flanked by buttresses with carvings at the top. It contains a double doorway under a decorated segmental arch, above which is a large window with a pointed arch. Inside, there is a gallery accessed through a staircase in the east turret, which has steeply tiered seats and an oak parapet, and is supported on iron columns. There is an oak dado throughout, and Art Deco stained glass by William Gamon & Co. There are oak pews and tiered choir stalls, above which is an organ built in 1906 for the former church.

The front of the southern end was rebuilt in the 18th century, and the north end in the 19th century, with rear extensions also constructed around these dates. The building was grade II listed in 1978. The building is constructed of gritstone with sandstone dressings and a stone flag roof.
