Coverham Bridge

Coverham Bridge is a historic bridge in Coverham, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The bridge provides access to Coverham Abbey, and is variously dated between the 14th and 16th centuries. It was first documented in 1615, when it was described as being "in great decay", and an order was given for its repair. Parapets were added later, and it was resurfaced in the 20th century, to permit access by motor vehicles. It was Grade II* listed in 1967 and was formerly a scheduled monument, although it now forms part of the larger Coverham Abbey scheduled monument. The bridge carries Hanghow Lane over the River Cover. It is built of stone and consists of a single chamfered pointed arch, which is 50 feet (15 m) wide, while the bridge is 12 feet (3.7 m) from side to side. The parts of the arch next to the abutments have tighter radii than the remainder of the arch. The bridge has a plinth, voussoirs, and parapets with saddleback coping.

Garth Cottage

Garth Cottage is a historic building in Coverham, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building originated as the central section of the medieval west range of Coverham Abbey, a 13th-century Premonstratensian house. In the 16th century, the monastery was dissolved, and the range was redeveloped as a house. Research in 1995 identified the internal east wall of the entrance lobby as probably surviving from the abbey, but the majority of the current building dates from the 17th century, or from a remodelling in about 1900. The building was Grade II* listed in 1967. The two-storey house is built of stone, with a stone slate roof. In the centre is a doorway with a straight-sided pointed arch and a moulded surround. Above it is a stepped hood mould containing the initial "A" and motifs including an eagle, and over that are three corbels. The windows are mullioned. At the rear are various types of window, including a sash window, a mullioned and transomed window, and mullioned windows with moulded hood moulds. Inside, there is a large arched fireplace with a hoodmould.

Coverham Abbey

Coverham Abbey, North Yorkshire, England, was a Premonstratensian monastery that was founded at Swainby in 1190 by Helewisia, daughter of the Chief Justiciar Ranulf de Glanville. It was refounded at Coverham in about 1212 by her son Ranulf fitzRalph, who had the body of his late mother reinterred in the chapter house at Coverham. There is some evidence that the during the first half of the 14th century the abbey and its holdings were attacked by the Scots, with the abbey itself being virtually destroyed. Later in that century there is a record of there being fifteen canons plus the abbot in residence. The abbey ruins are a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building.
