Moulton Manor
Moulton Manor

Moulton Manor is a historic building in Moulton, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The manor house was rebuilt in about 1570, and was slightly altered in the 17th century. A local tradition states that James VI and I spent a night in the house. By the early 20th century, it served as a farmhouse, but it was restored, extended and altered in 1938. The building was grade I listed in 1951. The house is built of stone on plinths, with chamfered rusticated quoins, and pantile roofs with shaped kneelers and stone copings. It has three storeys and a part basement, and an H-shaped plan, with a middle range of three bays, and two-bay gabled cross-wings. Five steps with side parapets lead up to the central doorway with a decorated architrave, a moulded frieze and a stepped hood mould. Most of the windows are cross windows, some with pediments. Above the doorway is a semicircular window with keystones, and above the central range and return is a parapet and a balustrade with pedestals. Inside the house, the entrance hall has 17th-century panelling and a stone architrave around the fireplace. The room to the left has early panelling, with pilasters between, the capitals of which depict carpenters' tools, and a cornice with frieze below. The kitchen has a large fireplace and chimney, with a possible priest hole. There is a 17th-century staircase with barleytwist balusters, above which is a moulded ceiling. On the first floor is a room with an elaborate fireplace with a frieze above, while all the rooms have early doorways and original fireplaces.

St Mary's Church, Bolton-on-Swale

St Mary's Church is the parish church of Bolton-on-Swale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The oldest parts of the current church are the south aisle and south doorway, which date from the early 14th century. The chancel and vestry are 15th century, while the tower dates from about 1550. It was heavily restored by George Fowler Jones in 1857, the work including rebuilding much of the nave, most of the windows, and replacing the roof. The chancel was remodelled in 1877 by Eden Nesfield. The church was grade II* listed in 1969. The church is built of sandstone with Westmorland slate roofs. It consists of a nave, north and south aisles, a chancel with a north vestry and organ chamber, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, a southeast stair turret, a three-light west window, a clock face on the west side, two-light bell openings, with cinquefoil heads, continuous decorated lintels and hood moulds, and an embattled parapet with coats of arms. Inside the church is a 14th-century piscina, in the south aisle. The sanctuary has decorative tiles made by Nesfield with a mural above depicting angels ascending to Heaven, while the Carpenter chapel has similar tiling, with bas relief plasterwork depicting maritime and pastoral scenes from the Bible. In the south wall are part of four Mediaeval tomb slabs, while next to the pulpit is part of an Anglo-Danish cross shaft. There is a large black marble slab commemorating Henry Jenkins, who died at the supposed age of 169.

Bolton Old Hall

Bolton Old Hall is a historic building in Bolton-on-Swale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was originally constructed as a three-storey peel tower, perhaps in the 1380s, by Richard Scrope, 1st Baron Scrope of Bolton. A two-storey south wing was added, probably in the 16th century, and then in 1680 the whole building was altered, the tower reduced to two storeys, and the windows replaced. It became the dower house for Kiplin Hall. In 1963, it was sold to the Stevenson family, who extended the building to provide five bedrooms, and planted exotic trees in the grounds. In 2021, it was put up for sale for £1.25 million. The house has been Grade II* listed since 1969. A local tradition states that a tunnel runs from the house to the graveyard of St Mary's Church, Bolton-on-Swale. The house is built of roughcast stone with quoins, and a pantile roof with stone coping and finials. The tower has been reduced to two storeys and has one bay, and recessed to the right is a later two-storey four-bay wing. In the ground floor of the tower is a sash window, over it is a blocked mullioned window, and above in the battlement are two arrowslits. On the front of the wing is a porch with panelled Tuscan pilasters, a frieze and a swan-neck pediment containing a chamfered panel carved with a fist holding a laurel wreath. The windows are sashes, in the ground floor with chamfered surrounds, and in the upper floor in architraves with keystones. The ground floor of the tower has plasterwork dating from 1680, and one of the first floor rooms also has a 17th-century plaster ceiling.
