Friar Garth Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building in Malham, North Yorkshire, England. It was listed as an historic site by English Heritage on 13 September 1988. In the 13th century, Malham belonged to the monks of Fountains Abbey, who controlled the land west of Malham Beck, and Bolton Priory who controlled the east. Friar Garth was built in Malham East in the late 16th century for the bailiff (or steward) of Bolton Priory. It also housed the Priory's sheepfolds, stack yard, and tithe barn. At the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, the estates of Bolton Priory were bought by the Lambert family and afterwards divided into smaller farms, of which Friar Garth was one. Since that time, although the building style has changed, the layout of Malham has remained much the same. Friar Garth itself is now divided into four separate houses and is no longer a working farm.

By the mid-19th century it had been divided into three smaller properties, but in 1866 it was restored as a single property, the vicarage of St Michael's Church, Kirkby Malham. The work included removing the second floor, although its windows survive, lighting the first floor. A northeast wing was added in 1874, and in the early 20th century its ground floor was altered to provide garaging space. The building wsa again restored in 1985, following which the wing was largely disused, and in 2012 it was divided to become a separate house. The entire building was grade II listed in 1958. The house is built of stone with a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and six bays, and in the second bay is a projecting gabled three-storey porch.

The Airton Quaker Meeting House is a historic religious building in Airton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. As a vernacular building, the origin of the meeting house is uncertain. The National Churches Trust argues that it was purpose-built in the early 1600s as a meeting house for the Seekers, an early group of religious dissenters. By the time of the English Civil War, the land on which the building stands was owned by John Lambert, a military commander who was sympathetic to the new Quaker movement. George Fox may have preached in Airton in 1652, while another Quaker leader, Gervase Benson, definitely preached in the village by 1658, in what he described as a "barn-like building". A Quaker community became established in the village, with the first recorded burial in 1663, and regular meetings by the end of the decade. The building appears to have originally been a cruck barn In about 1694, the building was reconstructed, the work being funded by William Ellis, a local linen manufacturer. The building thereafter served as a Quaker meeting house; it is unclear whether it was the barn mentioned by Benson, but if its history is as given by the National Churches Trust, it is the oldest surviving Quaker meeting house. In 1700, William Ellis and his wife Alice bought the building from Lambert for £31, and the door lintel was inscribed with the date to commemorate the transaction. The building was repeatedly altered over the following centuries, but retained its basic form. Regular worship continued until World War II, when two evacuee families were housed in the building. After the war, meetings were held only twice or three times a year, and the building fell into disrepair. By 2000, part of the roof had collapsed, and the walls were cracked, allowing damp in. Local Quakers decided to reinstate regular meetings, and gradually restored the building. The building was Grade II listed in 1958, and was upgraded to Grade II* in 2020. The building is constructed of limestone and sandstone rubble, on a plinth of boulders, and has a slate roof. It is rectangular in plan, and is divided into a main meeting room and a smaller room, originally the women's meeting room. The two are separated by a timber partition, with a gallery above, reached by steps, the structure appearing to date from around 1700. There is a cottage attached. The south-east windows appear to date from the early 18th century, and a large one on the north-west side is 19th-century. On the north-east side is a chimney stack, with two early 18th century fireplaces. Inside, there is a long stone elders' bench, which is likely to date from the 1690s. There is a rubblestone archway attached to the north-east wall, which is included in the meeting house's listing. Also attached is the early 18th century warden's house, now named The Nook. Beyond the house is a former barn and hayloft, and there is also a burial ground, with rubblestone walls. These are listed at grade II, with the house and barn.
