The Devonshire Inn is a historic pub in Skipton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in the 18th century as a replacement for an earlier pub on the site, and was originally named the "New Inn". Its design has been attributed to Richard Boyle. The building became the "Devonshire Hotel" in 1821, perhaps in reference to Boyle's daughter marrying the future Duke of Devonshire. The pub was bought by Tetley's Brewery in 1913, then in 2000 by Wetherspoons. It was refurbished in 2023. The building was grade II* listed in 1953. The building is built of stone, painted at the rear, with rusticated quoins, a moulded string course, and a massive eaves cornice. It has three storeys and five bays, the middle three bays projecting under a pediment. Steps lead up to the central doorway that has a moulded architrave and a pediment. The windows are sashes with stone surrounds. Inside, there is an early-18th century staircase, and original doors and window shutters.

St Andrew's Church, Skipton

St Andrew's Church is a closed church in Skipton, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. A Congregationalist church was first built on the site in 1777, which was replaced by a new building in the mid-19th century. In 1892, a Sunday school was erected to its east, which survives as the church hall. The church was demolished and rebuilt between 1914 and 1916, to a design by James Totty. Historic England describes it as "a striking example of a late Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts-style church that retains a complete and coherent scheme". It was built for the Congregational Union of England and Wales, but as it opened during World War I, its congregation was smaller than anticipated. By 1975, the congregation had further declined, and it formed a partnership with the Skipton United Reformed Church, Broughton Road Methodist Church and Gargrave Road Methodist Church, the four thereafter sharing St Andrew's Church. The building was grade II listed in 2021. The church closed in 2023, the congregation moving to Trinity Church in the town. In 2025, it was marketed for sale for £695,000. The church is built of sandstone and limestone, with slate roofs, and is in Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts styles. It has a cruciform plan, with semi-octagonal half-turrets, a sanctuary, a porch and a vestry. The entrance front facing the road has a decorated gable flanked by buttresses with carvings at the top. It contains a double doorway under a decorated segmental arch, above which is a large window with a pointed arch. Inside, there is a gallery accessed through a staircase in the east turret, which has steeply tiered seats and an oak parapet, and is supported on iron columns. There is an oak dado throughout, and Art Deco stained glass by William Gamon & Co. There are oak pews and tiered choir stalls, above which is an organ built in 1906 for the former church.
