St Mary's Church is the parish church of Ebberston, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the 12th century, at which time it appears to have consisted of a nave and chancel. Surviving features from this period include the doorway in the south wall of the nave, and the font. In about 1200, a north aisle was added, while the chancel was largely rebuilt and the nave extended later in the century, and a south chapel was added. The tower probably dates from the 14th century, while around the time of the English Reformation, the chapel was demolished. The building was reroofed in 1797, and the church was restored between 1870 and 1876, by Ewan Christian. He added a porch, and rebuilt the south side of the nave and chancel. The building was grade II* listed in 1953. The church is built of sandstone with a slate roof, and consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel and a west tower. The tower has two stages, two-light louvred bell openings with trefoil heads and hood moulds, and an embattled parapet. The porch is gabled and the doorway has a round arch, recessed in two orders, with roll-moulding and a scalloped capital. There is a grotesque head on the north wall, which is probably 14th century but in an earlier style.

Westwood Farmhouse is a historic building in Ebberston, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in the mid 18th century. It was grade II* listed in 1986, on account of what Historic England describes as its "remarkable panelled fittings", which are particularly well preserved having never been painted. Although fully panelled rooms are rare in smaller houses of this period, features include a moulded bressumer with a shelf and cupboards on the ground floor, and a firehood on the first floor, and overmantels with cupboards on each floor. The two-storey farmhouse is built of limestone, with a floor band, a moulded eaves cornice, and a pantile roof with coped gables and shaped kneelers. There are two storeys, three bays and a rear wing. The central doorway has a divided fanlight, the windows are sashes, and all the openings have lintels with tripartite keystones. Inside, original panelled doors with brass fittings survive throughout, including in the attic. The roof truss is a reused cruck pair. Northwest of the house is a late-18th century, grade II-listed building, comprising a former byre with granary above, a stable, a cartshed and a loose box. The building is in sandstone with quoins and a pantile roof. It has an L-shaped plan, the byre and granary with one storey and a loft, and a single-storey range on the left. The openings include doorways, windows, slit vents and pitching windows. There is an external flight of stone steps.

It was entirely rebuilt between 1862 and 1863, the chancel to a design by William Butterfield, and the nave to a design by William Tuke. The only survivals from the old church are some elements of the south doorway, and the font. The church was grade II listed in 1966. The church is built of sandstone with a stone slate roof, and consists of a three-bay nave and a chancel. At the west end is a wide pilaster buttress with round-arched openings carrying a gabled double bellcote. The south doorway has a round arch and two orders, on paired columns with leaf capitals, the outer order is chamfered, and the inner order incorporates 12th-century moulding.

Yedingham Priory was a Benedictine priory in North Yorkshire, England dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was home to Benedictine nuns from 1163 to 1539. The priory, also known as Little Mareis, was co founded by Helewise de Clere and Roger II de Clere. There were originally eight or nine nuns, but in time there were twelve with a prioress. In about 1512, a fourteen year old girl called Elizabeth Lutton became a Benedictiine nun. For twelve years the convent's authorities thought her situation was fine although it was said that she privately complained that she had become a nun despite her wishes. In 1526 Agnes Brayerdricke succeeded Dame Elizabeth White as head of the convent and Brayerdricke soon discovered that Elizabeth Lutton was pregnant. Brayerdricke had her separated from the other nuns until the child was born and she was then allowed to resume her place as a nun. Robert Constable of Flamborough visited Yedingham Priory where he learned about Elizabeth Lutton. After she was taken back into the priory Constable encouraged Thomas Scaseby to elope with Elizabeth Lutton in 1531. Scaseby may have been the father of the child and he married Lutton. Constable's motives for getting involved was that Elizabeth was a potential heiress and the marriage was to Constable's advantage in his own territorial disputes. Robert Constable was executed at Hull for sundry crimes on 6 July 1537 being hanged in chains over Beverley gate at Hull. The priory was suppressed in 1539. One wall, believed to be the south wall of the church, survives as part of the Old Abbey, Yedingham.
