The West Riding of Yorkshire was one of three historic subdivisions of Yorkshire, England. From 1889 to 1974 the riding was an administrative county named County of York, West Riding. The lieutenancy at that time included the city of York and as such was named "West Riding of the County of York and the County of the City of York". The riding ceased to be used for administrative purposes in 1974, when England's local government was reformed. Contemporary local government boundaries in Yorkshire largely do not follow those of the riding. The entirety of South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire were historically within its the boundaries, as were the south-western areas of North Yorkshire (including Ripon), the Sedbergh area of Cumbria, the Barnoldswick and Slaidburn areas of Lancashire, and the part of the East Riding of Yorkshire around Goole.

The Old Windmill is a disused windmill in Appleton Roebuck, a village south-west of York in England. The four-storey tower windmill was constructed in about 1820, to grind corn. It is built of brick and is circular, tapering as it rises. It has two arched entrances, with multiple arched windows above. The mill's sails were dismantled in the 1930s, and its machinery was removed during World War II. The mill fell into ruin, losing its roof and many internal features. Despite this, it was Grade II listed in 1987. The mill was purchased by the Houseman family in 1964, along with the surrounding land. In 2018, the family sold the mill for £200,000, having obtained outline planning permission for its conversion into a house. Ian Hazard designed the conversion, which includes three single-storey outbuildings, providing additional living space. The mill is visible from the East Coast Mainline, and from its top floor, there is a view of York Minster.

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Ryther cum Ossendyke, a village north-west of Selby in Yorkshire, in England. The church was originally built around the time of the Norman Conquest, and it was recorded in the Domesday Book. It has sometimes been described as Saxon, although little material survives from this date - principally, some carved stones set into the wall, and two reset window heads, and possibly the round chancel arch. The nave was rebuilt in the 13th century, and the chancel in the 14th century, when a south aisle was also added to the church. In 1773, the church was restored and partly rebuilt, and the chancel was again rebuilt in 1843. In 1898, C. Hodgson Fowler undertook a major restoration, in which, the brick tower was taken down and replaced by a bell turret, the roof was replaced, and a new east window was added, along with a south porch. The church is built of a mixture of limestone and gritstone, with a tiled roof. It has a simple plan with a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel. Inside, there is an early font, 15th century piscina and a hagioscope. There are five stone altars, possibly dating from the 11th century, with worn carvings representing the wounds of Christ.The parish has been reduced in size on several occasions; St Mary's Chapel, Lead was formerly a chapel-of-ease. In 1967, the church was Grade I listed.

St John's Church is an Anglican church in Acaster Selby, a village south of York, in England. Until 1850, Acaster Selby fell within the parish of Stillingfleet, with a church on the opposite side of the River Ouse. In 1833, eleven members of the choir drowned while crossing the river, and this spurred the construction of a church in Acaster Selby. It was designed by John Loughborough Pearson, completed in 1850, and dedicated to John the Evangelist. It was granted its own parish, although in 1875 this was merged with that of neighbouring Appleton Roebuck, with All Saints' Church, Appleton Roebuck becoming the parish church. The church was Grade II listed in 1978. The Gothic Revival church is built of sandstone, with limestone dressings and a tiled roof. It has a four-bay nave with a south porch, and a two-bay chancel with a vestry to the north-east. On the west gable, there is a bellcote. The porch has an opening with a pointed arch and a double-chamfered surround, and a door with a moulded surround and a hood mould, and there is a priest's door with a chamfered architrave and a hood mould.
