Elslack Hall is a historic building in Elslack, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Today it has been subdivided into a farm house and cottage. The building may be the successor of a manor house which Godfrey de Altaripa was granted a licence to crenellate in 1318. Remains of a moat are visible around the site, and there are a couple of lancet windows which may have been part of the mediaeval building. The oldest parts of the current house probably date from the 16th century. It was altered in the 18th century, and then suffered a fire in the late 19th century. As a result of the damage, the left rear wing was demolished, and the building was refronted. The house was grade II* listed in 1954. It forms part of the Elslack Estate, which was put up for sale in 2016, with an asking price of £10 million. The house is built of stone, with quoins and a stone slate roof, one gable with a crocketed finial. There are two storeys, two bays, and a cross-wing on the right. On the front is a two-storey porch and a round-headed doorway with impost blocks and voussoirs. The windows have double-chamferd mullions, and on the gabled end are two six-light windows, each light arched, with hood moulds. Attached to the cross-wing is a garden wall containing two rectangular bee boles with shelves. In front of the house is a great barn, which was constructed in 1672. It is built of stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. It is rectangular, long and narrow. The openings include a doorway with a chamfered surround, a doorway with a Tudor arch, two cart entries with chamfered surrounds and elliptical heads, and vents. Over one cart entry is a dated and initialled stone. It was grade II listed in 1954.

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Broughton, Craven, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. No church in Broughton is recorded in the Domesday Book, the first reference to one being in 1120. The oldest part of the church is part of the south wall including the main doorway, which is 12th century. The rest of the church was rebuilt, probably in the early 16th century. In 1873, William Henry Crossland heavily restored the chancel, and rebuilt the roof of the nave. The church was Grade I listed in 1954. Alan Bennett described a visit to the church: "We sit outside listening to the wind streaming through a huge copper beech and talk about this ordinary enough church which has been bound up with great events in the nation's history." The grass in the churchyard is kept down by a small flock of sheep. The church is described as "rather cold in winter". The church is built of stone, with a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel under a continuous roof, a north aisle, a south porch and a west tower, and is in Perpendicular style. The tower has angle buttresses, arched bell openings, gargoyles, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The south doorway has one order of waterleaf capitals and the shafts lost. In the south wall of the chancel is a round-headed priest's door, and the east window has three cusped traceried lights. Inside are two alabaster sculptures of the Virgin Mary, found during the Victorian restoration; various monuments to the Tempest family; and a 12th-century font.

Thornton-in-Craven railway station was a railway station that served the small village of Thornton-in-Craven in North Yorkshire (formerly the West Riding of Yorkshire) England. It was built by the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway and opened in 1848. It was simply known as Thornton with the in-Craven section not being added to the name until 1937.Situated on the edge of the village and below it, the station closed in 1970 (along with the railway), having previously avoided earlier closure proposals in 1959 and the Beeching Axe of 1963. The closure notice for the villages' railway station was met with indifference as it was pointed out by residents that the bus service was frequent and reliable and the railway station was remote from the village. The service had also been poor in latter years, with just two eastbound and four westbound trains calling each weekday and no calls at all on a Sunday.The last trains ran on Sunday 1 February 1970, with the line closing the next day, Monday 2 February. The track through the station was lifted later that year and the main building on the westbound platform demolished by 1973.The former station house survived demolition and is now privately owned; the trackbed is used as a footpath and bridleway and has a parking area for the nearby cricket ground. The railway between Colne and Skipton is proposed for re-opening to enable a cross-Pennine service and allow residents access to Leeds within one hour. This campaign is being promoted by SELRAP (Skipton East Lancashire Rail Action Partnership.) One of the scoping reports commissioned by SELRAP notes that between Colne and Skipton, there would be only two intermediate stations at Foulridge and Earby. Thornton-in-Craven does not appear as a proposal for reopening.

St Peter's Church is the parish church of East Marton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the 12th century, from which period the tower survives. The nave and chancel were rebuilt, probably in the 16th century, then the south aisle was rebuilt and the porch was added in 1769. The church was grade II* listed in 1954. The church is built of stone and has a slate roof. It consists of a nave, a south aisle, a chancel and a west tower. The tower is Norman, it contains small round-headed windows, small two-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet. The porch has a round-arched doorway with impost blocks and a triple keystone, and a pediment. Inside, there is an early font, and part of a carved pillar which was relocated from St Helen's Well in Thorp Arch.

East Marton is a village in the Craven District of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) west of the market town of Skipton and is on the A59 road. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal passes through the village on the descent from Foulridge to Leeds. The canal towpath in the village is part of the Pennine Way and the original pack-horse bridge over the canal was transformed into a double-arched bridge when the new A59 road was built on top of it. The canal was fully opened in 1816 with the section through East Marton being started in 1793. Some of the Navvies who died of smallpox whilst constructing the canal are buried in the churchyard.The church, dedicated to St Peter, was first built during Norman times to replace an earlier Saxon church in the village. St Peter's has been added to in the 17th and 19th centuries.There is a TV transmission mast just north of the village.Together with West Marton it forms the civil parish of Martons Both and in the 2011 census the population was listed as 213.East Marton was an ancient parish, sometimes known as Church Marton or Marton in Craven, in Staincliffe Wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
