A64 road - Izeria

The A64 is a major road in North and West Yorkshire, England. It links Leeds, York and Scarborough. The A64 starts as the A64(M) ring road motorway in Leeds, then towards York it becomes a high-quality dual carriageway until it is east of the city, where it becomes a single carriageway for most of its route to Scarborough. The road approximates a section of the old Roman road running from Chester to Bridlington, intersecting Ermine Street – the Old North Road – at York.

St Leonard's Church, Sand Hutton

St Leonard's Church is a ruined chapel in Sand Hutton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the 12th century, as a chapel of ease to St Botolph's Church, Bossall. The chancel was added in the 15th century, but Sand Hutton remained a small settlement, so the church was largely unaltered until it was repaired in the early 19th century. From 1840 to 1842, St Mary's Church, Sand Hutton was constructed in the churchyard, and St Leonard's gradually fell into ruin. The remains of the chapel were grade II listed in 1953. Despite this, the building is in poor condition, with the masonry around the door supported by metal poles. The chapel is built of stone and pebbles, with dressings in sandstone and limestone. The remains consist of the round-arched Norman south door with wo orders, volute capitals, an incised sundial to the left, and a section of wall to the right containing one two-light square-headed window with Perpendicular tracery. There are vestiges of the east wall, and inside is a cylindrical font.
