Bewerley Grange

Bewerley Grange is a historic building in Bewerley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Fountains Abbey established a monastic grange in Bewerley. In the early 16th century, under the abbotship of Marmaduke Huby, the monks constructed a chapel at the grange. Despite the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the building continued in use. In 1674 Dame Mary Yorke, widow of Sir John Yorke, bought the manor of Bewerley, and in 1678 she gave the chapel to be used as a school. The school was at first maintained by Richard Taylor, another local landowner, but from about 1737 it was maintained mainly by the Yorke family. It was restored in 1831, when the school closed. By the end of the century, the chapel had become a gardener's store, and the schoolhouse had become a private residence. The chapel was restored for worship in 1965, and the building was Grade II* listed in 1967. The building is built of gritstone, and has a stone slate roof. The chapel has a single storey, two bays, a plinth, and windows with straight heads and four-centred arched lights. It has a 19th-century porch, which is believed to reuse some 16th century stone. There are relief carvings on the sides, and a bellcote on the right gable. The house has a single storey and an attic, and three bays. The doorway has a chamfered surround, a four-centred arched head and a hood mould, and the windows have chamfered mullions and hood moulds.

Bewerley Old Hall

Bewerley Old Hall, also known as the Priest's House, or in the early 20th century as Tudor House, is a historic building in Bewerley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was built by Father Hicks in the late 16th or early 17th century, as the village's manor house. In 1681, it passed to the Inman family, and then in 1774 to John Yorke. In 1815, a new hall was built, and the old hall became the house of its gardener. To its east side were two large walled gardens, one with box hedges in the Elizabethan style, which was removed in 1975. The house was Grade II* listed in 1952, but views differ on its merits: Historic England research records describe it as "of little architectural merit", but Nikolaus Pevsner described it as a "fine C17 house". The house has a timber-framed core, and is in gritstone, with a moulded string course, and a stone slate roof with gable copings, and shaped kneelers. There are two storeys and three bays, and an additional later two-storey porch with a hipped roof. The ground floor of the porch is open, with two Tuscan columns, and it contains chamfered mullioned windows. The doorway has a chamfered quoined surround, and the windows are recessed, with chamfered mullions and hood moulds. Inside, the porch ceiling has a relief of a woman in 17th century clothing, while the house has original fireplaces, and much early plasterwork.

Pateley Bridge (bridge)

Pateley Bridge is a historic bridge across the River Nidd in North Yorkshire, in England. The bridge connects the town of Pateley Bridge with the village of Bewerley and carries the B6265 road. There was a ford at the site in the early mediaeval period, but by 12th century there was a wooden bridge. John Leland described a wooden bridge here in the 16th century. By 1647, it appears to have been rebuilt in stone, and the bridge was repaired and partially rebuilt on several occasions. The current structure dates from the late 18th century, and was grade II listed in 1967. The bridge is built of stone and consists of three segmental arches, two over the river. The bridge has pointed cutwaters that rise as pilaster buttresses with flat coping, recessed voussoirs, and a raised band at road level.

Pateley Bridge railway station

Pateley Bridge railway station is a disused railway station in North Yorkshire, England. The station was the terminating station on the North Eastern Railway (NER) Nidd Valley branch line. The station opened in 1862 and had a single platform; a small goods yard and a small locomotive depot, comprising a shed and a railway turntable. In 1907 a connection was opened from the station, across the main street in Pateley Bridge to link the Bradford Corporation owned Nidd Valley Light Railway (NVLR) with the NER branch line. This connection was only used by goods traffic as the NVLR opened its own passenger station a few hundred metres away and passengers had to walk between the two stations. The station was host to a camping coach in 1933 and 1935, possibly one for some of 1934 and two coaches from 1936 to 1939, the station was also used as an overnight stop for touring camping coach service in 1935. All traffic on the NVLR ceased in 1936 and the Nidd Valley branch went into a decline which led to the withdrawal of passenger services in 1951 and the closure of the line and the station to all traffic in 1964. The main station building at Pateley Bridge survived and is now in private use.
