Yew Tree House is a historic building in Cawood, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was originally built in the mid to late 17th century. Stables were added in the 18th century, and in the 19th century a two-storey block was added, linking the house to the stables. There were further additions in the 20th century, and the property was divided into two houses. The entire building was Grade II* listed in 1966. The house is built of brick with stone dressings, floor bands, and a pantile roof with Dutch gables. It has two storeys and an attic, a front of three bays, and at the rear is a stair tower, and two two-storey outshuts, one linking with the two-storey three-bay former stable block. On the front is a two-storey porch with a moulded pediment, containing a segmental-arched entrance. The windows on the front are sashes, some horizontally-sliding. In the left gable end is a blocked mullioned window. Inside, there are moulded beams in some ground floor rooms, and some also have early sliding shutters.

The Grange is a historic building in Cawood, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in the 16th century, for the Nicholson family, who held offices under the Archbishop of York. It was rebuilt in the mid-17th century, and was altered in the 18th century, and again around 1900. As part of these last changes, the original roof was replaced. Around this time, four life-sized Mediaeval sculptures believed to represent the Four Evangelists were found buried at All Saints' Church, Cawood, and were put on display outside the house. They were later passed to the owner of Cawood Castle, and two are now in the Yorkshire Museum. The house was Grade II* listed in 1966. The house is partly timber framed, with the rest in orange-red brick, with floor bands, a dentilled moulded cornice, a pantile roof with brick-capped kneelers and gable ends, and a curvilinear gable on the rear wing. It has two storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a front range of three bays, a rear wing, and two outshuts. On the front is a two-storey pedimented porch with an elliptical entrance, side seats inside, and an internal doorway. The windows on the front are sashes with alternate proud and flush voussoirs, and elsewhere there are mullioned windows. Inside, there is 17th-century panelling in the hall, with a 20th-century frieze, and original 17th-century panelling in a room to its right. There are also some early panelled doors.
