St Agatha's Church, Skeeby

St Agatha's Church is a closed church in Skeeby, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Skeeby lies in the parish of St Agatha's Church, Easby. A hermitage was recorded in the village in 1328, but there was no Anglican church until 1840, when a school was constructed, the building also being used as a chapel of ease. The building was grade II listed in 1986, by which time it was operated solely as a chapel. On Christmas Day in 1987, the church bell fell to the ground while being rung. In 2004, the first funeral was conducted in the church, the church door generally being too narrow to admit a coffin. The church closed in 2023, and in 2024 was marketed for sale for £130,000, for potential conversion into a house. The church is built of stone on a plinth, with quoins, and a Welsh slate roof with stone copings. It consists of a four-bay nave and chancel in one unit, and a lower range to the south. On the west gable is a bellcote. At the west end is a doorway with a pointed arch and a chamfered surround, above which is a lancet window and a dated plaque. Along the north front are four lancet windows with chamfered surrounds, on the east front are three similar windows, and the south range has a doorway and a window.

St Trinian's Hall

St Trinian's Hall is a historic building in Easby, a village near Richmond, North Yorkshire, in England. In the mediaeval period, there was a monastic grange on the site, associated with Easby Abbey. The name "St Trinian" was associated with it by the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s, believed to be a reference to Saint Ninian. The current building dates from the early to mid 18th century, with wings added before 1785. The building was altered in 1906, and during the First World War, it was purchased by Everard Radcliffe, who lived there until his death in 1969. A local story claims that Radcliffe planted a copse of willows on the property, in order that they could be used in the manufacture of cricket bats for Yorkshire County Cricket Club. The building was grade II listed in 1969. In 2022, it was put up for sale, with a guide price of £2.5 million. At the time, the property included a reception hall, dining room, drawing room, sitting room, library, hobby room, kitchen, utility room and two cloakrooms on the ground floor, with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a further sitting room on the upper floors. There was a cottage at the rear, and about 20 acres of gardens and parkland. The house is built of sandstone, with a red tile roof. It has two storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a main range of five bays, flanking two-bay wings, and a later rear wing on the right. The south front has a plinth, chamfered rusticated quoins, a cornice, and a parapet with ball finials on pedestals. In the centre is a Doric portico with three-quarter columns and a pediment. This is flanked by canted bay windows, and in the upper floor are sash windows in architraves. Inside, there is an early-18th century stone fireplace, and an early staircase in the rear wing.
