All Saints' Church is the parish church of Kirby-on-the-Moor, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was probably built in the 10th century, but uses even earlier materials. The north aisle was added in about 1170, followed by the chancel around 1200, and the north chapel later in the century. The chapel was enlarged in the 15th century, and the whole church was restored by George Gilbert Scott in 1870, who added the south porch. The building was grade I listed in 1966. The church is built of gritstone with roofs of stone slate and tile, and consists of a nave, a taller north aisle and chapel, a south porch, a lower chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a two-light west window, paired lancet bell openings, a corbel table with a gargoyle on the west, a coped parapet, and a squat pyramidal slate roof with a weathercock. In the porch are worked stones, including one from the Saxon period, and the inner doorway has a round arch. Inside, the chapel has a squint to the chancel. The font is 11th century, reworked in the 14th century, with an 18th-century cover, and some of the bench ends date from the 15th century. In and around the church are 12 stones with Celtic carvings. At the base of the southwest corner of the church is a large granite block with a Roman inscription. It is too weathered to be legible, but it appears to be a dedication to either Antoninus Pius or Caracalla, which would make it second- or early third-century. The west tower has a ring of six bells. Richard Seliok of Nottingham cast the tenor bell in about 1520. Samuel II Smith of York cast the fourth bell in 1713 and the fifth bell in 1718. John Warner & Sons of Cripplegate, London cast the treble, second and third bells in 1869.

Tap on the Tutt
Tap on the Tutt

The Tap on the Tutt is a historic pub in Boroughbridge, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The pub was commissioned by Hepworth & Co, a brewer based in Ripon, for a site on the Great North Road. It was designed by Sydney Blenkhorn and opened in 1930. A rear extension was added in about 1950, but the building remained largely unchanged under long-term owners. In 2001, it was Grade II listed on the initiative of the Campaign for Real Ale. It also appears on the organisation's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, with the maximum three stars. The pub was sold in 2003 and it was considered for conversion into a restaurant, but ultimately remained a pub. It was known for many years as the Three Horseshoes, but became the "Tap on the Tutt" in 2023. The two-storey building is in painted render with applied timber framing, and has a tile roof. The ground floor has four public rooms, arranged in a line: a dining room, public bar, lounge, and a second dining room. A further bay, recessed on the right, contains toilets. There is a servery behind, and a kitchen and service rooms at the rear. On the front are two doorways with triangular canopies, and four canted bay windows. The upper floor contains two-light casement windows, and in the roof are six flat-roofed dormers. Inside the pub, most of the original fittings survive, other than fitted seating and the enlargement of openings between some of the rooms. They include the oak bar counter in the lounge, with a glazed screen above, bar back and fireplace surround, all in oak.
