Naburn railway station was a railway station which served the village of Naburn, south of York, on the East Coast Main Line. It closed to passengers in 1953 and to goods services in 1964; the station building was a hostel for a short period of time before being purchased as a private residence and is in the process of being refurbished. In 1983 the Selby Diversion was opened which led to the closure of the railway line through Naburn; the trackbed is now used as a cycle path between York and Selby and is part of the National Cycle Network and the Trans Pennine Trail.

Holy Trinity Church, Acaster Malbis
Holy Trinity Church is an active Anglican church in Acaster Malbis, a village in the City of York, in England. It is a grade I listed building.
A church has existed on this site since at least the 12th century. It was rebuilt in limestone in about 1320, by the Fairfax family. It has a cruciform plan, with a south porch, with a pointed arch. The nave is of three bays, the chancel of two, and each transept a single bay. The windows to the north and south have three lights, with a larger, five-light window at the west end, and a seven-light window at the east end. They are deeply set in arched reveals. Each light has an ogee arch, design which Nikolaus Pevsner describes as initially appearing to be a later alteration, but actually contemporary with the original construction of the church. Above the windows in the west and south gables are quatrefoil windows, a trefoil in the north transept, and a sexfoil in the east gable. The east window has stained glass of 1320, which Pevsner describes as "very fine", and some more in the south transept window.
Inside, there is a mediaeval font, sections of a mediaeval wall painting on the north wall, and a piscina with ogee arches. There is also a fourteenth-century effigy of a knight, who is thought to be John Malbys. The wooden pulpit is 17th-century, described by Pevsner as "exceptionally elaborate".
In 1886, the church was restored by C. Hodgson Fowler, and he added a wooden bell tower and spire. In 1967, it was grade I listed. A new stained glass window was added in 2019, to a design by Janet Parkin, featuring woodland creatures.

The Latin word for a camp is castra indicating that the Roman army may once have been based here. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Acastre". The "Malbis" is derived from the Norman Malbysse or De Malebys family. Malbis was a Norman personal name which in French means "very swarthy".
There was a Royal Air Force station next to the village during and immediately after the Second World War.
According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 578, increasing to 669 at the 2011 census. There are two churches and an inn in the village. The village is also the home for a holiday park.
