Ebberston Hall is a Grade I listed country house in Ebberston, North Yorkshire, England. It was constructed during the 18th century for William Thompson. It was subsequently inherited by Sir Charles Hotham-Thompson, 8th Baronet, followed by Beaumont Hotham, 3rd Baron Hotham. It was later purchased by George Osbaldeston, before passing into the ownership (by inheritance from his father who had acquired it in 1941) of West de Wend Fenton. Built as a summer villa and designed by Colen Campbell, the hall is built of sandstone and has been altered. The main front has one storey and a basement, and three bays. The basement extends to form a terrace that is approached by an open staircase, flanked at the bottom by obelisk torch standards. The front has vermiculated rustication. A further flight of steps leads to a central door with pilaster jambs, a radial fanlight, and a rusticated surround with chamfered voussoirs, and a keystone with a mask and a monogram. The doorcase has attached Tuscan columns, and a pediment with a bust of a faun in the tympanum. The outer bays contain sash windows with chamfered voussoirs, and keystones with masks and foliage. At the top is a projecting cornice with a balustrade and corner vases. At the rear are five bays, the middle three bays containing a Tuscan loggia.

Westwood Farmhouse
Westwood Farmhouse

Westwood Farmhouse is a historic building in Ebberston, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in the mid 18th century. It was grade II* listed in 1986, on account of what Historic England describes as its "remarkable panelled fittings", which are particularly well preserved having never been painted. Although fully panelled rooms are rare in smaller houses of this period, features include a moulded bressumer with a shelf and cupboards on the ground floor, and a firehood on the first floor, and overmantels with cupboards on each floor. The two-storey farmhouse is built of limestone, with a floor band, a moulded eaves cornice, and a pantile roof with coped gables and shaped kneelers. There are two storeys, three bays and a rear wing. The central doorway has a divided fanlight, the windows are sashes, and all the openings have lintels with tripartite keystones. Inside, original panelled doors with brass fittings survive throughout, including in the attic. The roof truss is a reused cruck pair. Northwest of the house is a late-18th century, grade II-listed building, comprising a former byre with granary above, a stable, a cartshed and a loose box. The building is in sandstone with quoins and a pantile roof. It has an L-shaped plan, the byre and granary with one storey and a loft, and a single-storey range on the left. The openings include doorways, windows, slit vents and pitching windows. There is an external flight of stone steps.

Yedingham Priory

Yedingham Priory was a Benedictine priory in North Yorkshire, England dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was home to Benedictine nuns from 1163 to 1539. The priory, also known as Little Mareis, was co founded by Helewise de Clere and Roger II de Clere. There were originally eight or nine nuns, but in time there were twelve with a prioress. In about 1512, a fourteen year old girl called Elizabeth Lutton became a Benedictiine nun. For twelve years the convent's authorities thought her situation was fine although it was said that she privately complained that she had become a nun despite her wishes. In 1526 Agnes Brayerdricke succeeded Dame Elizabeth White as head of the convent and Brayerdricke soon discovered that Elizabeth Lutton was pregnant. Brayerdricke had her separated from the other nuns until the child was born and she was then allowed to resume her place as a nun. Robert Constable of Flamborough visited Yedingham Priory where he learned about Elizabeth Lutton. After she was taken back into the priory Constable encouraged Thomas Scaseby to elope with Elizabeth Lutton in 1531. Scaseby may have been the father of the child and he married Lutton. Constable's motives for getting involved was that Elizabeth was a potential heiress and the marriage was to Constable's advantage in his own territorial disputes. Robert Constable was executed at Hull for sundry crimes on 6 July 1537 being hanged in chains over Beverley gate at Hull. The priory was suppressed in 1539. One wall, believed to be the south wall of the church, survives as part of the Old Abbey, Yedingham.
