Grosmont Tunnel

St Matthew's Church is the parish church of Grosmont, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The village grew up in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and in 1840 Robert Cary Elwes donated a site for the construction of a church. It was completed in 1842, but in 1875 was entirely rebuilt. The new church cost about £1,000, and was largely funded by Charles and Thomas Bagnall and Mary Clarke. The church was designed by Charles Noel-Armfield, and incorporates a roof designed on acoustic principles which he had discovered in some Italian churches. Between 2012 and 2013, the west end of the aisles were partitioned off to create a kitchen and toilets, following which, the church was grade II listed, along with the churchyard gateway. The church is built of sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, the south aisle extending to form an organ chamber, a north porch, and a chancel with a north vestry. On the vestry is a bellcote with two stages, a pyramidal roof, and a Celtic cross finial. Most of the windows are lancets, and at the west end is a rose window. The main gateway to the churchyard has carved gate piers with cross-gabled caps, and ornate wrought iron gates. Inside, there is a stone reredos with a mosaic Crucifixion scene, an aumbry and sedilia. There is an organ manufactured by Alfred Kirkland, assorted stained glass, a stone pulpit depicting Saint Matthew, and an altar designed by Robert Thomson. The font is believed to be late 11th century.

The bridge has voussoirs, hood moulds, and shouldered cutwaters rising to pilaster buttresses forming pedestrian refuges.

Beckhole Incline was a steep, rope-worked gradient on the railway line between Whitby and Pickering, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England. Opened in May 1836 as part of the horse-worked Whitby & Pickering Railway, the line was operated by three railway companies before becoming redundant on the opening of a diversionary line to the east that allowed through working by steam engines on the entire line. Although the incline was closed to regular traffic in 1865, it was used for a very brief period in 1872, to test a special locomotive intended for railways with steep gradients. The site of the incline can now be walked, as part of the Rail Trail between Goathland and Grosmont.
