St Stephen's Church is an Anglican church in Snainton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Snainton has long been part of the parish of All Saints' Church, Brompton, but a small chapel of ease was constructed in the 12th century. It was a small, rectangular, building, with a bellcote and an elaborate doorway. It was demolished in the 1830s, and most of its stonework used to construct a new churchyard wall. A replacement church, to a design by John Barry, was completed in 1836. In the early 20th century, it was decorated internally, and an oak chancel screen was erected. The building was grade II listed in 1967. The church is built of sandstone on a chamfered plinth, with quoins, a moulded eaves cornice, and a slate roof with coped gables. It consists of a nave and a chancel in one unit, with a bellcote on the west gable. On the south front is an arched doorway with carved spandrels and a hood mould. To the right are four mullioned and transomed windows with three arched lights, and flat hood moulds. Inside is the 12th-century font from the old chapel, which is plain and circular.

Westwood Farmhouse
Westwood Farmhouse

Westwood Farmhouse is a historic building in Ebberston, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in the mid 18th century. It was grade II* listed in 1986, on account of what Historic England describes as its "remarkable panelled fittings", which are particularly well preserved having never been painted. Although fully panelled rooms are rare in smaller houses of this period, features include a moulded bressumer with a shelf and cupboards on the ground floor, and a firehood on the first floor, and overmantels with cupboards on each floor. The two-storey farmhouse is built of limestone, with a floor band, a moulded eaves cornice, and a pantile roof with coped gables and shaped kneelers. There are two storeys, three bays and a rear wing. The central doorway has a divided fanlight, the windows are sashes, and all the openings have lintels with tripartite keystones. Inside, original panelled doors with brass fittings survive throughout, including in the attic. The roof truss is a reused cruck pair. Northwest of the house is a late-18th century, grade II-listed building, comprising a former byre with granary above, a stable, a cartshed and a loose box. The building is in sandstone with quoins and a pantile roof. It has an L-shaped plan, the byre and granary with one storey and a loft, and a single-storey range on the left. The openings include doorways, windows, slit vents and pitching windows. There is an external flight of stone steps.

All Saints' Church, Brompton
All Saints' Church, Brompton

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Brompton by Sawdon, a village near Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. The church is most famous as the location where, in 1802, the poet William Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson. In 2002 a festival celebrated the 200th anniversary of the wedding. There was a church on the site by the 12th century. The oldest parts of the current building are the tower and nave, which date from the 14th century, although some fragments of the earlier building are incorporated into it. The arcade, south aisle and chancel were added in the 15th century. The church was restored in 1878, and the south porch was added in 1895. The building was Grade I listed in 1967. The church is built of sandstone with a slate roof. The steeple has a tower with three stages, large diagonal buttresses, a northeast stair turret, and bell openings with ogee-headed lights and pointed hood moulds. On the tower is an octagonal broach spire with lucarnes and a weather vane. There are embattled parapets on the porch, the aisles and the chapel, and in the nave and south wall of the chancel are three-light Perpendicular windows. The walls of the church contain re-set Norman fragments, including two figures of women, one seated, who may represent the Virgin Mary. Inside, the gallery and organ case date from 1893 and were designed by Temple Moore. The font is circular and is 13th-century. There are several monuments, including a tablet from 1580 and a wall brass from 1688.
