St Mary's Church is the parish church of Hambleton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A chantry chapel dedicated to Our Lady was constructed in Hambleton in about 1307, and was last recorded in 1536. Its site is now lost. The village was long in the parish of St Wilfrid's Church, Brayton. In 1882, a chapel of ease was constructed in Hambleton. It was designed by John Loughborough Pearson in the Decorated Gothic style, at a cost of £2,012 1s 9d. It could seat 214 worshippers. An organ was installed in 1885. In 1915, the church was given its own parish, and in 1949 some pews were removed to create a chapel and vestry. The church was grade II listed in 2021. The church is built of red brick with stone dressings and a red tile roof. It consists of a nave with flanking aisles, a southwest porch, and a chancel with a north vestry. On the west gable is a timber-framed bellcote, on each side of which are three quatrefoil bell openings, and it has a pyramidal shingled roof with a metal cross. Inside, there are pine pews, and a font brought from St Wilfrid, with a cover which came from St Michael's Church, Cottingley. Several windows contained stained glass, including a memorial window of 1920 by Christopher Whall. In the chancel is an oak frieze carved by George Walker Milburn.

Gateforth Hall
Gateforth Hall

Gateforth Hall is a historic building in Gateforth, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed between 1812 and 1814 for Humphrey Osbalderston. His main home was Hunmanby Hall, so Gateforth was only occupied for part of the year, and was effectively used as a hunting lodge. In 1897, Osbalderston's descendents sold the house to Leeds City Council, which converted it into a hospital for people with tuberculosis. In 1977, it was converted into a nightclub, and then became a hotel, before being converted back into an eight-bedroom house. In 2015, the house was put up for sale, with an asking price of £1.35 million. It has been grade II* listed since 1978. The house is built gault brick, with dressings in magnesian limestone, the basement in red brick, with a cornice, a low parapet, and a hipped grey slate roof. It has two storeys and a basement, a main block with a square plan and three bays, and an entrance hall and a service wing to the right. In the centre is a full-height bow approached by curved steps, with a portico of four giant Ionic columns, a frieze, a cornice and a low parapet. In the centre, steps lead to a doorway with fluted jambs and a rectangular fanlight. The windows on the front are sashes, those in the ground floor with aprons. The service wing has two storeys, seven bays, and modillion eaves brackets. Inside, there are a full-height entrance hall with a moulded ceiling and roof light, an oak staircase with an iron balustrade, and various marble fireplaces.
