St Aidan's Church is the parish church of Hellifield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Until the 20th century, Hellifield was in the parish of St Mary's Church, Long Preston.

It is in the Neo Tudor style, and Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "a successful design of its kind". It was grade II listed in 1987. In 2016, £8,000 was spent on removing the choir stalls and front two pews, to create a more flexible space, a carpeted platform with oak chairs. The church is built of sandstone with a Westmorland slate roof, and consists of a nave, a north porch, a chancel with a north vestry, and a north tower.

Hellifield Peel is a historic building in Hellifield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The peel tower was constructed in the 14th century as a solar associated with a nearby aisled hall. In the following century was converted into a tower house. Licence to crenellate was granted in 1440. In the 17th century a west wing was added and the windows were altered, while in the late 18th century the angle between the west wing and the tower was filled in, and sash windows were installed. A servants' wing was added further to the west around this time, while a wing was added to the east in the early 20th century. During World War II, it was requisitioned in connection with a prisoner of war camp. After the war, the house was bought by the furniture maker Harry Lund, who stripped it of wood, and then sold the remaining fixtures. This left the building roofless, leading it to fall into ruin. It was grade II listed in 1958. In 2004, the ruin was bought by Francis and Karen Shaw for £165,000. They restored the building, other than the servants' wing and east wing, the work featuring on the television programme Grand Designs. In order to repay the cost of the work, they operated the house as a bed and breakfast. The building is constructed of stone with a later embattled parapet, and has three storeys and three bays. The house contains windows with moulded surrounds, and in the left return are two staircase windows with chamfered surrounds, one with an ogee head. At the rear are two garderobe chutes.

Swinden Hall is a historic building in Hellifield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The oldest part of the building is the rear wing, which was constructed as a farmhouse in about 1600. In 1657, a new, larger, building was constructed immediately in front of the farmhouse, which was later converted into a dairy. At a later date, a new block was built, to connect the old farmhouse with the newer hall. The old farmhouse became a kitchen and service wing. Most of the windows were replaced in the early 19th century. The building was grade II* listed in 1958. The house is built of stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. It has three storeys and three bays, the middle bay projecting as a full-height gabled porch. The doorway has a Tudor arch and a hood mould, its lintel scratched with initials and the date, although Nikolaus Pevsner considers that the inscription has been recarved. The windows have double-chamfered mullions, cast iron lozenge glazing and hood moulds, those in the top floor stepped with three lights. To the right is a previous farmhouse with two storeys and three bays. The interior has been altered, but retains some early fireplaces and beams, now plastered over.
