Eden Camp Museum
Eden Camp Modern History Museum is a large Second World War-related museum near Malton in North Yorkshire in England. It occupies a former Second World War prisoner-of-war camp of 33 huts. After the prisoners left, the camp was used for storage and then abandoned. Its grounds then became overgrown. As the museum was being set up, much clearing, as well as repair and renovation of the buildings, was required. One of its buildings contains three human torpedoes and a "Sleeping Beauty" Motorised Submersible Canoe.The museum has fully restored a Super Sherman (M50) to its original working classic, amongst many other military vehicles which are now on display in the Heritage Hall - a new purpose built events and exhibition centre. The museum also has a reproduction V1.

Old Malton Mill
Old Malton Mill, also known as Old Malton Moor Mill, is a historic building near Old Malton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
A windmill was first recorded in 1780, although it is unclear whether this was the current building, which has the appearance of having been built about 1800. It was used to produce flour. By the 1840s, it was part of a group of buildings, which developed into Windmill Farm. Its sails were removed in 1902. The mill machinery was dismantled in about 1952, and the building has since been used for storage. It was grade II listed in 2023.
The mill is built of orange-red brick, and has a conical roof in Welsh slate with a lead cap finial. The windmill has a circular plan, it is tapering, and has four storeys. On the eastern side, steps lead up to a doorway, and above there are windows on each storey, some blocked. Inside, there is a timber staircase, a mid-20th century corn milling machine, a grain sump and a grain bin.

Malton Priory
Malton Priory, Old Malton, North Yorkshire, England, is near to the town of Malton. It was founded as a monastery of the Gilbertine Order by Eustace fitz John, the lord of Malton Castle. Fitz John founded both Malton Priory and Watton Priory around 1150; some sources suggest that this was an act of penance for his support for the Scots in the Battle of the Standard.
The prior was accused of taking part in the Pilgrimage of Grace.
After the Dissolution, the site was bought in 1540 by Robert Holgate, the former master of the Gilbertine Order, who was then Bishop of Llandaff. In 1545 Holgate became Archbishop of York. He founded three grammar schools in Yorkshire, including Malton School (on part of the monastic site).
