The Cock & Bottle is a historic pub in Skipton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. A building on the site, on Swadford Street, was first recorded in 1689, and Nikolaus Pevsner claims a 17th-century date for the front part of the building. The rear section of the pub has a plaque dated 1729, and the "Cock & Bottle" pub was first recorded in 1731. The front of the building was redesigned in a neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. In the 1980s, the small rooms on the ground floor were opened out to form a single, large, bar area. The pub has been grade II listed since 1978. The building is constructed of painted stone with a stone flag roof. It has three low storeys and two bays. The ground floor contains a doorway and casement windows, and on the middle floor are two oriel windows with chamfered mullions and a cornice on concave-arched brackets. The top floor is gabled and contains three-light mullioned windows, the middle lights higher and arched. At the rear is a long two-storey wing with sash windows.

Christ Church, Skipton

Christ Church is an Anglican parish church in Skipton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built between 1837 and 1839, to a design by Robert Dennis Chantrell, at a cost of £6,260 5s. 4d. In January 1839, a storm damaged the roof and blew in the west windows, but they were repaired in time for the consecration in September. In 1840, it was given a parish, split from that of Holy Trinity Church, Skipton. A parsonage was added nearby in 1846, and stained glass windows were installed between 1844 and 1854. An organ was installed in 1905, which was constructed by Harrison & Harrison. The building has been grade II* listed since 1978. Parish rooms were added on the south side in 1982, and in 2010, the building was renovated at a cost of £140,000, the work including the removal of the pews and the installation of a semi-sprung floor with underfloor heating. The church is built of sandstone and freestone with a slate roof. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a chancel with a clerestory, aisles and a crypt, and a west tower. The tower has two stages, diagonal buttresses rising to corner pinnacles, and an open arcaded parapet. On the west side is a doorway with a pointed arch, above it is a large three-light window, and the bell openings have two lights and louvres. Inside, the nave, aisles and chancel have plaster rib vaults, that in the chancel is painted and gilded, perhaps by Charles Nicholson in the 1920s. Nicholson also created the south chapel. There is a Gothic reredos, designed by Robert Thompson.
