Newthorpe, North Yorkshire

Huddleston Hall is a historic building in Huddleston with Newthorpe, a civil parish in North Yorkshire, in England. The manor house was constructed around 1700, for the Hungate family, with stables being constructed at the same time. However, the 15th-century former chapel survives from an earlier hall built by the Langton family, having later been converted into a barn. The hall was later converted into a farmhouse. It was altered in about 1912, when an additional entrance was inserted. The hall, chapel, and stables, are all separately grade II* listed. The hall was placed on the Heritage at Risk Register due to the poor condition of its roofs, although some emergency work was undertaken, and a plan put in place to fully restore them. The hall is built of limestone on a plinth, with quoins, a floor band, and a stone slate roof with shaped kneelers and stone coping. There are two storeys and attics and a cellar to the right, and an H-shaped plan consisting of a single bay flanked by single-bay gabled cross-wings. In the centre are two Tudor arched entrances with quoined and chamfered jambs. The windows are mullioned, and most also have transoms, with those on the upper floors being smaller than those on the ground floor. Inside, there is a hall with a great chamber above. Few historic features survive inside, but both the main and service staircases are early, and originally had large turned balusters. The chapel is built of magnesian limestone with a stone slate roof. The openings include a doorway with a moulded surround, a three-light window with a pointed head containing Perpendicular tracery, and a doorway with a Tudor arched lintel. The stables are also built of magnesian limestone and have a pantile roof with stone coping. There is a single storey and twelve bays. The south gable end contains a doorway with a chamfered surround and a Tudor arch, flanked by two-light mullioned windows under a continuous stepped hood mould. On the sides are stable doors and windows, some with Tudor-arched lintels and some with chamfered surrounds.

The Church of All Saints is an Anglican building in the village of Ledsham, West Yorkshire, England, some 10 miles (16 km) east of Leeds. Parts of the church are originally from the Anglo-Saxon period, which has been the basis of the claim that it is the oldest church still standing within West Yorkshire, and one of the county's oldest buildings. Although Yorkshire has several Anglo-Saxon structures, the church is noted as a rare survivor despite several renovations. In his book, England's Thousand Best Churches, Simon Jenkins rates it with two stars out five, and it is one of only nine recommended for West Yorkshire.

The Battle of Sherburn in Elmet was an action fought towards the end of the First English Civil War. A detachment of the English Royalist army led by Lord Digby, King Charles I's Secretary of State, was making a belated attempt to reach Scotland and join forces with the Scottish Royalists. As they moved north through Yorkshire, they were pursued by a Parliamentarian force under Sydnam Poyntz. Poyntz was unaware of the Royalists' position, and the Royalists took the opportunity to ambush and attack a small Parliamentarian detachment at night in the village of Sherburn in Elmet. However, the Royalists then mistook fleeing Parliamentarians for their own men and panicked. In the ensuing flight, several hundred Royalist prisoners were taken. The Parliamentarians also captured Digby's coach, which contained much compromising correspondence.

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Sherburn in Elmet, a town in North Yorkshire in England. The church was constructed in the 12th century, from which period the nave and part of the north aisle date. It is known that there was an earlier church on the site, and the current building appears to reuse some large, Anglo-Saxon stones. The chancel was added in the 13th century, followed by the south aisle and an extension to the north aisle in the 14th century, and the south chapel in the 15th century. The clerestory dates from the 16th century, and the tower was heightened at a later date. In 1857, Anthony Salvin restored the church and added a vestry. The church was grade I listed in 1967. The church is built of Magnesian Limestone. It has a four-bay nave, with a two-bay tower, and a two-bay chancel. The tower is supported by large diagonal buttresses, added in the Victorian period. It has paired openings around the bells, and is topped by battlements. Although the porch is largely the work of Salvin, it reuses 12th century material, including zigzag carvings. Most of the nave windows are Perpendicular, while the chancel windows are lancets which date from the Victorian restoration. Inside the church, there is a round tower arch, with a round-arched window above. Between the south aisle and the chancel is an ogee arched window. There is a shell-shaped piscina in the chantry chapel. The 15th-century Janus Cross was moved from the ruins of the demolished St Mary and All Holy Angels Chapel, formerly in the churchyard, and it is now displayed in two parts. The organ was made by Brindley and Foster and dates from 1875. There is a 14th-century grave slab under the tower, and a tablet dedicated to Peter Foljambe, who died in 1668.The west window contains 15th century glass. Some bells date from 1750, and the others are Victorian. The oak pews and pulpit were installed in 1857.
