Brompton did not have its own place of worship until 1838, when a chapel of ease was constructed. Half of the building was partitioned off as a schoolroom until 1872, when a new school was built behind the church. The church was Grade II listed in 1969. It was reordered in the 1990s, with the pews replaced by moveable seats. It church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof, and consists of a two-bay nave with a north porch, and a higher two-bay chancel with a south vestry. On the west gable is a bellcote with Baroque-style coping. The windows in the nave and the east window have Perpendicular tracery, while the other windows in the chancel have Y-tracery.

Skeeby Beck is a small river flowing through Gilling West and Skeeby, near to Richmond, in North Yorkshire, England. Skeeby Beck drains the moorland to the north of Richmond and south of the A66 road, and flows in a south-easterly direction until it runs into the River Swale at Brompton-on-Swale. The Environment Agency designate the beck as a one river, even though it has four names along its length. Artificial modification of the beck to enable draining of surrounding fields has straightened the channel in its lower courses, and the bricking up of at least one arch on Gilling Bridge is thought exacerbate flooding when the area is subjected to high rainfall.

It was located on the Catterick Camp (now Catterick Garrison) sub branch of the Eryholme-Richmond branch line and served the village of Brompton-on-Swale. The station opened together with the line in 1915 and was also known in timetables as Catterick Bridge. It was situated just south of Catterick Bridge goods yard and had a timber platform, a small booking office and a ground frame. Passengers changing trains here had to walk a short distance to or from Catterick Bridge station, through troop trains did not stop here. In 1943 it was resited south of Brompton Road. The new station had a brick and concrete platform and a ground level signal box with a four-lever frame next to the level crossing. The line closed in 1964, and the tracks were lifted in 1970.

The Catterick Bridge Explosion occurred on 4 February 1944 in the railway sidings at Catterick Bridge station, on the Richmond Branch Line/Catterick Camp Railway in North Yorkshire, England. It killed twelve people and injured more than a hundred. The incorrect loading of explosives into railway wagons is believed to have been the cause, but because of wartime restrictions, reporting of the event was not as widespread as it would have been had the explosion occurred in peacetime.

Catterick Bridge is a historic bridge over the River Swale in North Yorkshire, in England. The bridge was constructed between 1421 and 1425, with funding from William de Burgh and seven other local nobles. In 1505, St Anne's bridge chapel was built to the east of the south end of the bridge. The southern pillar of the bridge fell into disrepair, and in 1562 Roger Burgh and two other nobles agreed to fund repairs. These were completed in 1590, but in 1674 the bridge was again recorded as being in poor repair. In 1792, John Carr of York widened the bridge by 13 feet, on the downstream side, and demolished the chapel. He also refaced the north and south arches on the upstream side. In 1914, the Catterick Camp Military Railway was laid across the western carriageway of the bridge, but in 1922 a dedicated railway bridge was constructed a little further upstream. In 1969, the bridge was Grade II* listed. The bridge now carries Catterick Road, the A6136. It was formerly part of the A1, which now crosses the Swale a short distance upstream to the west. It is built of sandstone and consists of three arches, slightly pointed on the older, upstream, side. It has triangular cutwaters with hollow chamfered tops, rising to canted pedestrian retreats, a band, and parapets with triangular coping, ending in circular bollards.

Catterick Racecourse, sometimes known as Catterick Bridge Racecourse, is a thoroughbred horse racing venue one-mile northwest of Catterick in North Yorkshire, England, near the hamlet of Catterick Bridge. The first racing at Catterick was held in 1783. Catterick stages Flat and National Hunt racing. Both tracks are left-handed, sharp, and undulating. The flat course is just over a mile round, with a 3-furlong run-in. There is a straight 5 furlongs course, which runs downhill for 2 furlongs before joining the round course. The jumps course is about 1 mile 2 furlongs round, with eight fences, three in the home straight and five in the back straight. Both straights have an open ditch. Two-mile races start on a chute that extends from the home straight. The runners jump one fence or hurdle before joining the main course. The run-in from the last fence is 240 yards. The national hunt course is on the inside of the flat course on the home straight but switches to the outside for the back straight before returning to the inside on the home turn. Both courses suit front runners; it is not a course for long-striding horses. The gravel subsoil means the going is usually good. It has been said that "it is not one of the North's most glamorous fixtures". The Catterick Sunday Market, held on the racecourse grounds, is the largest Sunday Market in the North of England. The international flat racing champion Collier Hill won his first race here in March 2002. The feature events at the course are the North Yorkshire Grand National in the Jumps season, held in January, and the Catterick Dash in the Flat season, held in October. There are plans to create an All-Weather track and change the layout of the National Hunt course.
