Star Carr is a Mesolithic archaeological site in North Yorkshire, England. It is around five miles (8 km) south of Scarborough. It is generally regarded as the most important and informative Mesolithic site in Great Britain. It is as important to the Mesolithic period as Stonehenge is to the Neolithic period or Scandinavian York is to understanding Viking Age Britain. The site was occupied during the early Mesolithic archaeological period, which coincided with the preboreal and boreal climatic periods. Though the ice age had ended and temperatures were close to modern averages, sea levels had not yet risen sufficiently to separate Britain from continental Europe. Highlights among the finds include Britain's oldest structure, 21 red deer stag skull-caps that may have been headdresses and nearly 200 projectile, or harpoon, points made of red deer antler. These organic materials were preserved due to having been buried in waterlogged peat. Normally all that remains on Mesolithic sites are stone tools. Excavation of the site began in 1948, a year after artefacts were first noticed by John Moore, an amateur archaeologist. The site is most famous for some of the extremely rare artefacts discovered during the original excavations but its importance has been reinforced by new understandings of the nature and extent of the Mesolithic archaeology in the area and reinterpretations of the original material.

The Star Carr Pendant is a unique engraved shale pendant from the Mesolithic site of Star Carr in North Yorkshire. It has been described as the oldest Mesolithic art in Britain.

St George's Church is a Catholic church in the Eastfield area of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. When the Eastfield estate was constructed, Catholic mass was initially said in the community centre. In 1957, a building was constructed to serve as a combined church and church hall. The building was designed by Francis Johnson, and the work, including a nearby presbytery, cost £15,000. It was originally a chapel of ease to St Peter's Church, Scarborough, but in 1965 it was given its own parish. In the 1980s the entrance front was extended, to provide a new entrance, kitchen, and other service spaces. In 1999, the church reverted to serving as a chapel of ease. The building is constructed of red brick with a pantile roof. Half the building is the church and the other half is the church hall, the two divided by a folding screen which can be removed to create a single space. The building has doors and windows of domestic style. The entrance bays are gabled. Inside, it has pews brought from the chapel at Houghton Hall, East Riding of Yorkshire, and wooden furnishings in the sanctuary from 1957. These include the altar and altar rail, holy water stoup, candlesticks, and statues including the Stations of the Cross. There is a small side chapel and a recess for the organ.
