Hampsthwaite Bridge is a historic structure in Hampsthwaite, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A bridge over the River Nidd in Hampsthwaite was first recorded in 1527. It was rebuilt in 1598, probably in timber. In 1640, it was rebuilt in stone. The parapet was rebuilt, probably in the 19th century, and at a similar time, the southern arch was widened on the west side. The bridge was grade II listed in 1952. In 2001, a lorry crashed through the parapet and was left dangling over the river, following which it was closed to heavy goods vehicles. In 2023, large cracks appeared in the bridge, and it was temporarily closed to allow the rebuilding of one of the parapets. The bridge is built of gritstone, and consists of three segmental arches with the voussoirs set back slightly. It has triangular cutwaters, chamfered at the top, carried up as pedestrian recesses, and corbels carrying the overhanging parapet.

St Thomas a Becket's Church is the parish church of Hampsthwaite, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Numerous Saxon and Norman graveslabs have been found in the vicinity of the church, suggesting there was an early church building here. The first recorded church was built around 1180, probably on behalf of Hugh de Morville, Lord of Westmorland, one of the knights responsible for the murder of Thomas Becket. The church is believed to have been damaged during the First War of Scottish Independence and rebuilt later in the 14th century, with a new tower constructed in the 15th century. In 1820 the whole church other than the tower was demolished and rebuilt. It was again rebuilt in 1902, in the Perpendicular Gothic style, by C. Hodgson Fowler. The building was grade II listed in 1966. The church is built of gritstone with a grey slate roof and consists of a nave, a south aisle, a south porch, a chancel with a south vestry and a west tower. The 15th-century tower has three stages, stepped diagonal buttresses and a west doorway in Gothic style with a moulded surround, above which is a three-light Perpendicular window, and on the south face is a three-light window; all the openings have hood moulds. The bell openings have three lights and above is an eaves string course, an embattled parapet with central triangular pilasters and a weathervane. The porch entrance has a chamfered surround and inside it are medieval and 17th-century inscriptions and tomb slabs. Inside the church is a Norman font, 17th-century panelling in the south aisle, the 17th-century churchwarden's pew and two Elizabethan chairs. There is a memorial brass dating from about 1360 but dedicated to Andrew Dixon, who died in 1570, and a large white marble monument to Amy Woodforde-Finden, sculpted by George Edward Wade.

Burnt Yates School was a primary school in the village of Burnt Yates, in North Yorkshire, in England. The school was founded in 1760. It was endowed with £150 in the will of William Coates, a shopkeeper in nearby Ripley, who had heard negative reports of the behaviour of children in Burnt Yates. It was also endowed with the estate of Flask Farm, by Rear Admiral Robert Long. It became a state school in the 20th century, and in its first 250 years had just 15 headteachers. The school was rated inadequate by Ofsted, due to its safeguarding procedures. It then failed to find an academy chain to join, leading it to close in 2018. The following year, Admiral Long School moved from nearby Bishop Thornton to the Burnt Yates building. The school building dates from 1760, and was extended in 1763 and 1849. A trustees' room was added in 1773. It is built of gritstone, the roof of the earlier parts is in stone slate, with stone coping and a shaped kneeler, and the later part is in blue slate. The original part has two tall storeys and two bays, the 1763 extension to the left is of the same height, with three storeys and two bays, and the latest extension is at right angles to the right and has a single tall storey. In the original part are floor bands and a doorway with a quoined surround, above which is an inscribed crest, and both earlier parts have quoins. The latest part has a porch, a date plaque, and a bellcote. In all parts are windows that are mullioned, or mullioned and transomed. The trustees' room includes original chairs made by Thomas Chippendale, a Georgian map, and portraits of George I of Great Britain and Caroline of Ansbach. The building was Grade II listed in 1987.
