Arnford Farmhouse

Arnford Farmhouse is a historic building in Hellifield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The farmhouse was constructed in about 1700 as a pair of mirror-image semi-detached houses. Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "a very remarkable building", and Joan Thirsk argues that it must have been constructed by two heirs to shares of the estate. In the 20th century, the two houses were combined, and in 1958, the building was grade II* listed. The building is constructed of stone with millstone grit dressings, and a stone slate roof with kneelers. It has two storeys and is eight bays wide. Each house has a plinth, and contains a central doorway with a moulded surround, a pulvinated frieze and a moulded hood. It contains cross windows with hood moulds, and a gabled dormer with a chamfered mullioned window, a kneeler and a spike finial. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace.

St Aidan's Church, Hellifield

St Aidan's Church is the parish church of Hellifield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Until the 20th century, Hellifield was in the parish of St Mary's Church, Long Preston. The church was designed by John Wreghitt Connon and Harry Sutton Chorley, and was constructed from 1905 to 1906. It is in the Neo Tudor style, and Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "a successful design of its kind". It was grade II listed in 1987. In 2016, £8,000 was spent on removing the choir stalls and front two pews, to create a more flexible space, a carpeted platform with oak chairs. The church is built of sandstone with a Westmorland slate roof, and consists of a nave, a north porch, a chancel with a north vestry, and a north tower. The tower has three stages, in the bottom stage is a three-light window with a pointed head, the second stage is recessed behind a splayed water table, and contains a lancet window, a clock face, and large bell openings with pointed head, and at the top is embattled machicolation.

Hellifield Peel

Hellifield Peel is a historic building in Hellifield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The peel tower was constructed in the 14th century as a solar associated with a nearby aisled hall. In the following century was converted into a tower house. Licence to crenellate was granted in 1440. In the 17th century a west wing was added and the windows were altered, while in the late 18th century the angle between the west wing and the tower was filled in, and sash windows were installed. A servants' wing was added further to the west around this time, while a wing was added to the east in the early 20th century. During World War II, it was requisitioned in connection with a prisoner of war camp. After the war, the house was bought by the furniture maker Harry Lund, who stripped it of wood, and then sold the remaining fixtures. This left the building roofless, leading it to fall into ruin. It was grade II listed in 1958. In 2004, the ruin was bought by Francis and Karen Shaw for £165,000. They restored the building, other than the servants' wing and east wing, the work featuring on the television programme Grand Designs. In order to repay the cost of the work, they operated the house as a bed and breakfast. The building is constructed of stone with a later embattled parapet, and has three storeys and three bays. The house contains windows with moulded surrounds, and in the left return are two staircase windows with chamfered surrounds, one with an ogee head. At the rear are two garderobe chutes.
