Scorton Grammar School is a former grammar school that was located in Scorton village, in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England. It was founded by Leonard Robinson who bequeathed money, land and his house so that someone should "teach school in the town of Scorton" The school's Latin motto was Sola in Deo Salus means "Safety in God alone". The school crest was the roebuck (the family crest of the founder). The school was run as a private boys boarding school with day students from nearby villages until the decision was made to accept female pupils from 1989 in order to raise numbers at the school. During the 1991 summer holidays, chairman of the governors John Bell announced, that the school was no longer viable with only 100 pupils. The school was a charitable trust but it was heavily indebted and the lack of new admissions meant that it would be impossible to continue operating and to balance the books. Other small independent schools in the area have also closed over recent years, these include the Assumption Convent in Richmond in 1993 and the Great Ayton Friends' School in 1997.

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 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.

The Battle of Catraeth was fought around AD 600 between a force raised by the Gododdin, a Brythonic people of the Hen Ogledd or "Old North" of Britain, and the Angles of Bernicia and Deira. It was evidently an assault by the Gododdin party on the Angle stronghold of Catraeth, perhaps Catterick, North Yorkshire. The Gododdin force was said to have consisted of warriors from all over the Hen Ogledd, and even some from as far afield as Gwynedd in North Wales and Pictland. The battle was disastrous for the Britons, who were nearly all killed. The slain warriors were commemorated in the important early poem Y Gododdin, attributed to Aneirin.

Catterick () is a village, civil parish and electoral ward in North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it is 8.5 miles (13.7 km) north-west of the county town of Northallerton just to the west of the River Swale. It lends its name to nearby Catterick Garrison and the nearby hamlet of Catterick Bridge, the home of Catterick Racecourse where the village Sunday market is held. It lies on the route of the old Roman road of Dere Street and is the site of the Roman fortification of Cataractonium.

The Church of St Anne is a parish church in the village of Catterick, North Yorkshire, England. The present church structure dates back to the early 15th century, but some of its stones are from an earlier structure located on the same site. A place of worship in Catterick village is believed to have been in existence since the 7th century. The church has been dedicated to Saint Anne since its original consecration date of 1415. The contract between the benefactors of the church and their stonemason is one of the oldest contractual documents written in English and has provided much insight into the Northern English dialect at that time. The north side of the church has a small section dedicated to the Royal Air Force Regiment who had their home depot at the nearby RAF Catterick between 1946 and 1994.

Catterick Bridge is a hamlet about 1-mile (1.6 km) north of Catterick, at the south end of Catterick road bridge. The hamlet includes Catterick Racecourse and a few houses. The Sunday market, held at the racecourse, was once the largest of its kind in Northern England. After declining fortunes, the market closed in 2016. The former Bridge House Hotel currently stands derelict after a fire destroyed a vast majority of the Grade II listed building in 2014. There had been a coaching inn at this site since at least the 16th century. After several attempts to auction the property, it was removed from the market, in October 2020, due to lack of interest. Charles Macintosh, the inventor of the Mackintosh raincoat, Sir John Beresford, 1st Baronet and William Beresford, 1st Viscount Beresford were educated at Catterick Bridge.

The Bridge House Hotel is a former hotel in Catterick Bridge, a village in North Yorkshire in England. The building was constructed as a coaching inn, at the southern end of Catterick Bridge, in the 17th century. It was originally named the "George and Dragon", and succeeded an earlier building, named by John Leland in the 16th century. The building was altered and extended in the late 18th century. In the late 19th century, it was converted into a private house, but in the 20th century was converted back into a hotel, the "Bridge House Hotel", also spending some time as the "Catterick Bridge Hotel". It was undergoing renovations in 2014, when it was badly damaged in a fire. It was then further damaged by vandals, and was sold in both 2022 and 2023. In 2024, plans were submitted to demolish the worst-affected parts of the building, at the rear, and mostly dating from the 20th century, restore the remainder, convert it into apartments, and build additional housing on the rest of the site. The building is roughcast and has pantile roofs with stone copings and shaped kneelers, and there are two storeys. The central part has a U-shaped plan, with a range of two bays and projecting gabled wings with attics, and there are later added ranges. In the middle is a doorway with pilasters and a segmental pediment containing a coat of arms, and the windows are sashes. In the right range is a semicircular-headed porch and a canted bay window, and in the left range are oriel windows. It has been Grade II listed since 1977.
