St Wilfrid's Church, Monk Fryston
St Wilfrid's Church, Monk Fryston

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. In 1970, a church hall was added, to a design by George Pace and Ronald Sims. The church roof was replaced in 2013. 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. Inside, there is a piscina, two 17th-century wall tablets, a 13th-century square stone font with a wooden cover dating from 1669, a communion rail from 1664, and several stained glass windows designed by Charles Eamer Kempe.

Hillam Hall is a historic building in Hillam, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was originally built for the Mouncey family, probably in the 17th century. Between 1827 and 1835 it was remodelled, in the Elizabethan Revival style. It was later divided into two houses, named Hillam Hall and West House. It was grade II listed in 1967. The house is stuccoed, and has a coped stone slate roof with kneelers and finials. There is an H-shaped plan, the central range with four bays, a tall single storey on the left and two storeys on the right, and flanking gabled two-storey single-bay wings. On the front is an embattled porch, and a doorway with a four-centred arched head. The windows are mullioned or mullioned and transomed, some with hood moulds. In the gables are dated and inscribed shields. Inside, there is a large staircase, and a panelled room. The grade II-listed former carthouse and stables are built of magnesian limestone, with a stone slate roof. There is a single storey, five bays, a later garage to the left, and an open three-bay cartshed to the right. In the centre are stable doors under flat heads. The former coachhouse, dovecote and stable block, now a house, is also grade II-listed. It is built of limestone with a stone coped stone slate roof. The central bay has two storeys and is flanked by lower two-storey five-bay wings containing casement windows and French windows. In the centre is a four-centred arched carriage entrance, over which is a stepped four-light window with a sill on consoles, and on the roof is an octagonal cupola and a weathervane. In the garden is a grade II-listed summerhouse. It is built of sandstone with a corrugated iron roof, and is in Gothic style. There is a single storey, a square plan, and a single bay. On the angles are buttresses with pinnacles, and on the front is a doorway with a pointed moulded head, colonnettes, and a hood mould. Above this is an embattled gable containing an incised cross and with a pinnacle. On the sides are lancet windows. It is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "like a tiny Gothic chapel".
