Milford Sidings are a set of railway sidings in South Milford, North Yorkshire, England. The railways through the site were initially opened in 1834 and 1840, when transfer and marshalling yards opened too, which handled mostly coal. However, the current sidings were developed in the 1980s to function as layover (staging in railway parlance) sidings for coal trains to and from the Aire Valley power stations. The sidings have access to several railway lines radiating in almost all directions. With the drawdown of coal-fired power stations in line with UK government directives, the sidings have been used less due to the loss of coal trains. However, they are still used to stage other freight trains.

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Sherburn in Elmet, a town in North Yorkshire in England. The church was constructed in the 12th century, from which period the nave and part of the north aisle date. It is known that there was an earlier church on the site, and the current building appears to reuse some large, Anglo-Saxon stones. The chancel was added in the 13th century, followed by the south aisle and an extension to the north aisle in the 14th century, and the south chapel in the 15th century. The clerestory dates from the 16th century, and the tower was heightened at a later date. In 1857, Anthony Salvin restored the church and added a vestry. The church was grade I listed in 1967. The church is built of Magnesian Limestone. It has a four-bay nave, with a two-bay tower, and a two-bay chancel. The tower is supported by large diagonal buttresses, added in the Victorian period. It has paired openings around the bells, and is topped by battlements. Although the porch is largely the work of Salvin, it reuses 12th century material, including zigzag carvings. Most of the nave windows are Perpendicular, while the chancel windows are lancets which date from the Victorian restoration. Inside the church, there is a round tower arch, with a round-arched window above. Between the south aisle and the chancel is an ogee arched window. There is a shell-shaped piscina in the chantry chapel. The 15th-century Janus Cross was moved from the ruins of the demolished St Mary and All Holy Angels Chapel, formerly in the churchyard, and it is now displayed in two parts. The organ was made by Brindley and Foster and dates from 1875. There is a 14th-century grave slab under the tower, and a tablet dedicated to Peter Foljambe, who died in 1668.The west window contains 15th century glass. Some bells date from 1750, and the others are Victorian. The oak pews and pulpit were installed in 1857.

The Battle of Sherburn in Elmet was an action fought towards the end of the First English Civil War. A detachment of the English Royalist army led by Lord Digby, King Charles I's Secretary of State, was making a belated attempt to reach Scotland and join forces with the Scottish Royalists. As they moved north through Yorkshire, they were pursued by a Parliamentarian force under Sydnam Poyntz. Poyntz was unaware of the Royalists' position, and the Royalists took the opportunity to ambush and attack a small Parliamentarian detachment at night in the village of Sherburn in Elmet. However, the Royalists then mistook fleeing Parliamentarians for their own men and panicked. In the ensuing flight, several hundred Royalist prisoners were taken. The Parliamentarians also captured Digby's coach, which contained much compromising correspondence.

St Wilfrid's Church is the parish church of Monk Fryston, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the Saxon period, probably in the early 11th century, from which era the lower part of the tower survives. The rest of the church was rebuilt in the 13th century, while the upper part of the tower dates from the 14th century, as does the clerestory. The choir was restored by Thomas Edmunds in 1685. The whole church was restored from 1889 to 1891 by Robert J. Johnson at a cost of £7,000. The work included the addition of a vestry, and the replacement of most of the stained glass. The building was grade I listed in 1967. In the mediaeval period, the church was dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, but it is now dedicated to Saint Wilfrid.

The church is built of magnesian limestone, with roofs of stone slate and lead, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel with a south vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, a two-light west window, a floor band, two corbel tables, two-light round-headed bell openings, and an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. The north aisle is also embattled, and at the east end is a three-light straight-headed Perpendicular window.
