All Saints' Church, Kirby-on-the-Moor

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Kirby-on-the-Moor, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was probably built in the 10th century, but uses even earlier materials. The north aisle was added in about 1170, followed by the chancel around 1200, and the north chapel later in the century. The chapel was enlarged in the 15th century, and the whole church was restored by George Gilbert Scott in 1870, who added the south porch. The building was grade I listed in 1966. The church is built of gritstone with roofs of stone slate and tile, and consists of a nave, a taller north aisle and chapel, a south porch, a lower chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a two-light west window, paired lancet bell openings, a corbel table with a gargoyle on the west, a coped parapet, and a squat pyramidal slate roof with a weathercock. In the porch are worked stones, including one from the Saxon period, and the inner doorway has a round arch. Inside, the chapel has a squint to the chancel. The font is 11th century, reworked in the 14th century, with an 18th-century cover, and some of the bench ends date from the 15th century. In and around the church are 12 stones with Celtic carvings. At the base of the southwest corner of the church is a large granite block with a Roman inscription. It is too weathered to be legible, but it appears to be a dedication to either Antoninus Pius or Caracalla, which would make it second- or early third-century. The west tower has a ring of six bells. Richard Seliok of Nottingham cast the tenor bell in about 1520. Samuel II Smith of York cast the fourth bell in 1713 and the fifth bell in 1718. John Warner & Sons of Cripplegate, London cast the treble, second and third bells in 1869.

Anchor Brewery, Langthorpe

The Anchor Brewery is a historic industrial site in Langthorpe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Warwick's Anchor Brewery was constructed in the mid 19th century, with the maltings of about 1850 being the oldest surviving building, and probably the oldest surviving maltings in the country. The main building was reconstructed in 1856, as a four-storey tower brewery, although part was later reduced to two storeys. A new, larger, maltings was added in 1875. In 1924, Warwick's was purchased by John Smith's Brewery, which closed the site in 1964. The old maltings was converted into a shop and offices, and the main building into a laundry. Each of the brewery buildings was grade II listed in 1987. Some of the brewery buildings were converted into housing in 2007. The old maltings and kiln is built of red-brown brick with a grey slate roof. There is a main range of three storeys and a basement, and three bays, and a two-storey kiln at the southeast end. The kiln has a conical flue. The main building is also built of red-brown brick with a corrugated asbestos roof. There are four storeys and five bays, the rear range reduced to two storeys. The doorways and windows have cambered heads, and in the rear range is a datestone. The newer maltings and kilns are similarly built of red-brown brick and have a grey slate roof. The maltings has three storeys, and fronts of seven and three bays, and at the east end is a pair of slightly taller three-bay kilns. The building contains doorways, and the other openings are either blocked or contain casement windows. The main block has skylights and ridge louvres, and the kilns have pyramidal roofs and flat-topped flues.
