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.

Local tradition claims that it was built with stone from Knaresborough Castle. In the 20th century, it was combined with the house to its left, to form a hotel with twelve bedrooms. The owners appeared on the series "Four in a Bed" in 2016, winning the episode. In 2022, it was taken over by Lamb and Flag Enterprises. Both sections of the building have been separately grade II listed since 1952. The original house is built of limestone, with sill bands, a moulded eaves cornice, and a triangular pediment containing a blind oculus, flanked by blocking courses. It has three storeys and three bays. The central doorway has a shouldered architrave, a fanlight, consoles flanking a frieze of paterae and triglyphs, and carrying a cornice and segmental pediment.

Plompton Hall is a historic building in Plompton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The Plompton estate was purchased by Daniel Lascelles in about 1755. He commissioned John Carr to rebuild the country house, with work starting in about 1757. However, Lascelles later bought Goldsborough Hall and decided to live there. In 1762, he had the unfinished house at Plompton demolished. The stable block, perhaps modelled on the one at Houghton Hall, was retained, with part of it converted to form a smaller house, now known as Plompton Hall. Both the house and the remaining part of the stables were altered in the 20th century, and in about 1980 the southern part of the stables was converted into a further house. Plompton Hall and its stables are separately grade II* listed. The house has rusticated quoins, an eaves cornice, and a hipped stone slate roof. It has two storeys and three bays, the middle bay projecting under a pediment. In the centre is a full-height recessed round arch with voussoirs and an impost band. This contains a doorway with sidelights, above which is a window with a semicircular wrought iron balcony. Flanking the doorway are round-headed niches and semicircular niches above. The outer bays contain windows, blind in the ground floor and sashes above. At the rear is a canted bay window. Short flanking walls, about 3 metres (9.8 ft) high, link the house with the stables, the left wall with three ball and cushion finials. The stable block is built of stone with a stone slate roof, and consists of three two-storey ranges around a courtyard. The main range is the west range, which has rusticated quoins, and seven bays. The middle bay projects slightly, and contains a tall archway with a rusticated surround, an open triangular pediment, and an octagonal cupola with clock faces, dentilled eaves and a ball finial with a moulded base. The flanking bays have impost bands, a moulded eaves cornice, and a hipped roof, and contain engaged arcading with windows. The east range has five lower bays, with taller bays at each end. The north range is a three-bay hay barn. In the courtyard, there is a dog kennel in the northwest corner, and a carriage house in the northeast corner.
