To the west of Buttercrambe, on high ground, are the remains of a Roman Temporary Camp: a square enclosure, ditched and banked, constructed quickly by an army on manoeuvres in enemy territory and used either overnight or for a short period of time, and demolished upon abandonment of the site. The camp was constructed probably 20 years before the establishment of nearby Eboracum, Roman York, in 71 AD.

St John the Evangelist's Church is an Anglican church in Buttercrambe, a village in North Yorkshire in England. The church lies in a grassy churchyard, south of the village's Main Street. It was originally constructed around 1240, with a four-bay nave, south aisle and chancel. Since at least 1404, the church has been a chapel of ease to St Botolph's Church, Bossall. In the 15th century, the nave was shortened, the aisle removed, and the chancel rebuilt. The church was altered in 1803, and then heavily restored between 1878 and 1881. The architect is unclear, but may have been C. Hodgson Fowler or Temple Moore. The building was Grade II* listed in 1953. The church is built in limestone and sandstone and has a Westmorland slate roof. It consists of a nave measuring 40 feet by 16 feet, and a chancel at a slight angle. The chancel has a 13th-century door in its north wall. On the junction of the nave and the chancel is a bell turret with a spire. Most of the windows are in Perpendicular style, almost all dating from the Victorian restoration. Inside, there are several wall monuments, the earliest dating from 1674.

Aldby Park is a country estate in the village of Buttercrambe near the village of Stamford Bridge in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The house, replacing the original Tudor one, was built around 1725 by Jane Darley but it occupies an ancient site believed to be where Edwin of Northumbria was crowned King in 625 AD. Aldby Park is best known as being the ancestral home of the Darley family. This family's best known member is Thomas Darley, brother of Jane Darley, who owned the celebrated Darley Arabian horse which is widely recognised as being the earliest ancestor of most of the world's thoroughbred race horses. Most recently, it has been the home of Mark Winn, grandson of Rowland Winn, 1st Baron St Oswald, and his son, George Winn-Darley. The three storey house is built of brick with ashlar dressing and a slate roof, with a nine bay frontage.

Skirpenbeck is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of Stamford Bridge just north of the A166 road. According to the 2011 UK census, Skirpenbeck parish had a population of 192, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 142. In 2019 this was estimated to be 304. The place-name 'Skirpenbeck' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Scarpenbec. It derives from the Old Norse skerping and bekkr, meaning barren land by a beck or stream.Skirpenbeck is near Stamford Bridge, over the River Derwent, near where King Harold of England defeated Harald Hardrada King of Norway in 1066. Its first baron was Sir William de Chauncy, son of Chauncy de Chauncy. Unusually for a village there are a still number of working farms in the village, some of which have been farmed by the same families for generations. There are currently 7 working farms in the village. The parish church of St Mary's is a Grade II* listed building.There are markings on the church building (near the bell tower) that appear to be Saxon runes. The village has also had some notable residents: Alick Walker the palaeontologist was born in Skirpenbeck.Thomas Cooke the machinist was the school Headmaster in Skirpenbeck where he also created precision scientific instruments such as microscopes and telescopes.Frederick James Lloyd, more commonly known as James Lloyd, was an English artist. He became famous for his paintings, mostly of animals and country landscapes. He was the first living self-taught artist to have a painting hung at the Tate in London, titled Cat and Mouse. He and his family moved to Skirpenbeck in 1950 where he took on the job as a cowman. There were now so many paintings, laboriously constructed dot by dot (pointillism). His wife Nancy decided it was time that Lloyd's work was seen by more people. Without telling her husband she wrote to Sir Herbert Read and he paid Lloyd a visit to see his paintings, and bought a couple of them. Herbert Read sent some to various galleries in London. In 1958 Lloyd held his first one-man show at (the late) Arthur Jeffress Gallery in London. All but 2 of the 32 paintings being held were sold within hours of opening.

St Botolph's Church is the parish church of Bossall, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The current church, dedicated to St Botolph, dates from around 1180, though as many as three earlier churches may have occupied the site. One of these is thought to have been built by the Bosa of York. The church is cruciform and approximately 94 feet (29 m) in length. The transepts, nave and part of the tower are original, but the chancel was rebuilt in the 13th century and alterations were later made to the upper part of the tower. The Borthwick Institute holds copies of the parish records which date to the early 17th century. The Church of England records include this background information about the parish: A vicarage was ordained at Bossall in 1229. The rectory and advowson of the church initially descended with the manor of Bossall but by 1378 it had passed to the Nevill family. At some point between 1378 and 1386 it was alienated to Durham Priory by John Nevill for the maintenance of Durham College, Oxford. The advowson was fully appropriated to the college c.1404, and the college retained it until the Dissolution of the Monasteries when it was granted by the King to the Dean and Chapter of Durham. A report published in 1839 states that the church was suffering from neglect at that time, although the interior walls had been recently cleaned. The vicarage, a white Elizabethan house built in 1838 and the home of Rev. Bolton Simpson at that time, was located nearby. It was restored in 1859, during which process the west gable was rebuilt, and a south porch was added. The church was Grade I listed in 1953. The church is built of limestone and sandstone and has a Welsh slate roof. It has a cruciform plan, consisting of a nave with a south porch, north and south transepts, a chancel, and a tower at the crossing. The tower, nave and transepts have a string course and a corbel table. The south porch has a moulded round-headed arch with four orders of shafts with dogtooth and stylised flower decoration, and waterleaf capitals. The doorway in the north porch is similar, but with only one order. Many of the windows are lancets, while others are Perpendicular, and there are a couple of round-headed windows. Inside the church is a 14th-century font with a 17th-century cover, and a painting of the Royal Arms from 1710. Monuments include a brass figure commemorating Robert Constable, a former chancellor of Dunelm, who died in the 1540s, and several memorials to members of the Belt family.

Bossall is a hamlet in North Yorkshire, England with fewer than 100 residents. The village was part of the Ryedale district between 1974 and 2023. It is now administered by North Yorkshire Council. The Church of St Botolph was built in the 12th century with later alterations and is a Grade I listed building. The term Bosall was drawn from the name of 7th-century bishop Bosa of York who was said to have built a church here. The community is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Boscele and as Bosciale in the hundred of Bulford; at that time, the property was held by "Hugh, son of Baldric" or Hugh fitzBaldric and included a church. In 1086, there were 19 residents in approximately 6.9 households, in addition to a priest. This property produced an annual income of "3 pounds in 1086; 2 pounds 10 shillings in 1066". Records from 1823 indicate that there were only three houses and a population of 31, increasing to 76 by 1842; archaeological evidence showed that the village was previously much larger. It is thought to have been devastated by the Black Death in 1349. Centuries ago, the community included a quadrangular castle built in the 1300s by Paulinus de Bossall which was replaced by the current manor built in the 17th century; stone from the original castle walls was used in that project. By 1923, there was no village per-se here, "the church having in close proximity only the rectory, a modern building, and Bossall Hall".

Bossall Hall is a historic building in Bossall, a village in North Yorkshire in England. A quadrangular castle was constructed in Bossall by Paulinus de Bossall in the 14th century, surrounded by a moat. It was demolished in the early 17th century by Robert Belt, who constructed a new hall within the moat, probably reusing building materials from the castle. It was partly rebuilt in the 18th century, and its external appearance now dates to this period; Historic England describes it as "not outstanding". The building was Grade II listed in 1953, and the site, including the largely-intact moat, was made a scheduled monument in 1993. It was put up for sale in 2020, with a guide price of more than £2 million. The house is built of brick, with an M-shaped tile roof. There are two storeys and attics, a double-depth plan, eight bays, and rear service wings. The doorway has a divided fanlight, the windows are sashes with flat brick arches, and in the attics are five dormers with casements. There are two projecting chimney stacks flanked by small 17th-century casement windows with decorative brick pediments. There are drainpipe heads dated 1726 and 1798. Inside, there is an 18th-century wooden staircase, and wooden panelling in the central room, of similar date.

HM Prison Millsike is a prison currently under construction in York, Yorkshire, England. It is due to open in 2025. And will be operated on a 10 year contact by Mitie Care & Custody. Construction of a new, unnamed prison began in November 2021 by construction company Kier. The construction of the new prison was part of the governments New Prisons Programme, following the construction of Five Wells Prison and HMP Fosse Way in Glen Parva. HMP Millsike, in addition to HMP Five Wells and HMP Fosse Way, was built using PCE's Secure Prison platform-DfMA build system. This offers many benefits, such as offsite manufacturing and standardised components, creating a more sustainable, repeatable build system that aligns to the Ministry of Justice's Net Zero Carbon ambitions. The site is opposite HMP Full Sutton and is due to open in 2025. The new prison will hold approximately 1,500 prisoners and will be the first prison in the UK to run solely on electricity generated through the use of solar panels and heat pumps, allowing the prison to use approximately a quarter of the energy needed to heat historic prisons, such as HMP Wormwood Scrubs. On 27 February 2023, Prisons Minister, Damian Hinds revealed the name of the prison as HM Prison Millsike. The prison was named after the local river Millsike Beck, that runs adjacent to the prison. After a six-week consultation, a panel of Ministry of Justice representatives, as well as local residents to the prison created a shortlist that was presented to then Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab, who agreed upon the name.
