The House in the Rock is a historic building in Knaresborough, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was built between 1770 and 1786 by Thomas Hill, a local linen weaver, who carved it out of the cliff face using hand tools. He constructed the whole building with his oldest son, also Thomas, while renting a nearby cottage. Upon completion, he moved in with his wife and six children. Although there were various other rock-cut houses in the town at the time, the house was the most impressive, and Hill named it Fort Montague in honour of Lady Elizabeth Montagu, who provided some financial support. After inheriting the house, the younger Thomas operated a tearoom from the building, flew the national flag, and fired a cannon while dressed in a naval uniform. He briefly printed novelty banknotes, but this was stopped after some were mistaken for genuine notes. The Hill family lived in the house until 1996, when the front wall became unsafe. It was stabilised using a grant from English Heritage, and was sold to a new owner in 2000, who closed the tearoom. It remains in used as a private home. The house is partly cut into a cliff face and partly built in stone, partly rendered, with a Westmorland slate roof. There are four storeys and one bay, with one room on each floor. On the east front is a segmental-arched doorway in the top floor, and on the south front is a sash window on each floor, all but the top window horizontally-sliding. At the top is an embattled parapet, and to the left is a wall, also with an embattled parapet. The building has been grade II listed since 1952.

Castle Mill is a historic watermill in Knaresborough, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The complex lies on the side of a corn mill. In 1770, it was rebuilt as a paper mill, and in 1791 it was converted to spin cotton, with a new building added. In the 1810s, it switched to spinning flax, and the 1791 building was replaced. In the late 1840s, the mill was taken over by Walton, Gates and Simpson, who added power looms and a steam engine. In the 1860s, it switched from spinning to weaving linen. The company later became Walton & Co, and it continued weaving until 1972, and left the premises entirely in 1984. Between 1986 and 1987, the complex was converted into housing. Several buildings on the site are grade II listed. The original mill building dates from 1770, although it is possible that parts of the walls survive from the older corn mill.

There are two storeys, eleven bays on the front, and three on the return. The windows are large horizontally-sliding sashes, and in the left return is a loading door with a pulley rail. The northern mill building was originally a cottage, built in about 1800. Further cottages were constructed on either side in the early 19th century, and then an adjoining warehouse in the 1850s. The internal walls of the cottages were demolished in the 1860s, and the building became a workshop, while the warehouse was rebuilt in 1879. The building is constructed of gritstone and brick, with roofs of pantile and Westmorland slate. It has three storeys and ten bays, following the curve of the road, and a two-storey three-bay brick extension to the north. On the east front is a loading door, and the windows are a mix of sashes, some horizontally-sliding, and square windows; some windows are blocked.

The windows are sashes, and some are blocked. Between the central building and the weaving shed is the central range, probably built in 1770 as the owner's house, but converted into a workshop and warehouse by the 1820s. The mill building is constructed of rendered stone and brick, and has a stone slate roof with courses of Westmorland slate, a stone ridge, and stone gable coping and a kneeler on the right.
