Until 1974 it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire and it was part of the district of Craven from 1974 to 2023; it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

St Andrew's Church, Gargrave

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Gargrave, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was probably originally built in the 16th century, from which period the tower survives. In 1674, the vicar demolished the large rood screen, which doubled as an organ loft. Unfortunately, the screen also played a structural role, and the action caused part of the roof to collapse, and the south aisle to become unusable. It was repaired, but the bulk of the building was later demolished and rebuilt in 1852 by Rhode Hawkins, in the Perpendicular style. It was grade II listed in 1954. The church is built of sandstone, yellowish in the tower, and red elsewhere, the aisle and tower have lead roofs, and the roofs elsewhere are in green slate. The church consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, north and south porches, a chancel, and a west tower. The tower has diagonal buttresses, a three-light west window, above which is a niche, three-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet with eight crocketed pinnacles. Seven windows in the chancel have stained glass by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier.

Paget Hall

Paget Hall is a historic building in Gargrave, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was built in the early 17th century, but was heavily restored in the 19th century, the work removing many details. Despite this, many early features survive, including a garderobe in the hall chamber, and the late-17th century roof. The house was grade II listed in 1954. The house is built of stone with stone slate roofs. It has a T-shaped plan, with a main block of two storeys and an attic, and two bays, and smaller two-storey wings to the north and the south. The windows are chamfered and mullioned with hood moulds. In the attic roof of the main block are four upper crucks. Inside, there are early fireplaces in both the east and west ground floor rooms, and the main staircase has a 17th century appearance, but may date from the 19th century restoration. The house has a grade II listed outbuilding, probably once a stable, which has been converted for residential use. It is in stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. There are two storeys, and it contains a window with a chamfered surround in the ground floor, a taking-in door above, and in the east gable is a dovecote.

Eshton Hall

Eshton Hall is a historic building in Eshton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The country house was constructed between 1825 and 1827, for Mathew Wilson, replacing a Georgian house in the Palladian style. It was designed by George Webster, and was one of the earliest works in the Elizabethan Revival style. Webster altered and extended the building between 1835 and 1839, and the house then remained largely unchanged, the only substantial alterations being to the service wing. The house had 30 acres (12 ha) of pleasure grounds, on both sides of Eshton Beck. Eston Hall was inherited by Frances Mary Richardson Currer who held a large library. During World War I, the building housed Westlands School, then it became a private home before housing Bramcote School during World War II. In 1946, the new Eshton Hall School was set up in the building, and in 1959 it purchased the freehold from the Wilson family. The school closed in 1966, and the building was converted into a nursing home. In 2005, it was converted into 18 apartments, with work including several new staircases, and a new roof covering. The house was grade II* listed in 1954. The hall is built of stone with slate roofs. The main block has two storeys and fronts of five bays, the outer bays on the main front projecting, with a continuous coped parapet. On the front is a two-storey porch with coupled Doric antae and ornamental cresting. The windows are mullioned and transomed and contain horizontally-sliding sashes. To the right of the main block is an octagonal turret, with three stages, a scalloped crest, an ogee lead cupola, and a dated and initialled weathervane. Further to the right is a service wing with two storeys and nine bays, containing a gabled gatehouse with an oriel window and a gabled bellcote. Inside, there is a central staircase under a lantern, while the dining room, library, and drawing room all have marble fireplaces.
