Sinnington Grange Mill

Sinnington Grange Mill is a historic building in Sinnington, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. There has been a watermill on the River Seven in Sinnington since the Mediaeval period, during which period it was probably owned by Yedingham Priory. The current corn mill was constructed in 1844, driven by a breastshot waterwheel. It closed in 1978, and the front was partly rebuilt in 1980, following which it was used as a grain-drying store before becoming derelict. The building has been grade II listed since 1987. The mill has an iron frame enclosed in brick, and a stepped eaves course, and a slate roof with coped gables and shaped kneelers. There are four storeys and a basement, and four bays. Steps lead up to the round-headed doorway, and the windows have segmental heads under cambered brick arches. On the front is a recessed inscribed and dated panel. In the right return is a semicircular arch over the wheel chamber, and the left return has a rounded arch over the tailrace. The waterwheel and pit wheel survive in the basement, as do two grindstones and a sack hoist. Cast iron columns support the upper floors.

Normanby, Ryedale

Normanby is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Pickering. It lies on the main road between Malton and Kirkbymoorside. In the old days Normanby had 14 alehouses and was a major stopping point due to its location halfway between Teesside and Humberside. These days Normanby has only one pub and a church. All the houses in Normanby are built along the busy main road. The bridge to the south of the village was built in the mid 18th century and is narrow, so in recent years it has been the scene of many accidents. The bridge takes traffic over the River Seven which runs to the east of the village on its way from Rosedale to the River Rye further south.

St Andrew's Church, Normanby

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Normanby, a village near Malton, North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the mid 12th century, from which period the nave arcade and some other fragments survive. The chancel arch dates from about 1300. The remainder of the church was rebuilt in 1718, and then heavily restored by Temple Moore between 1893 and 1895. Moore's work included the addition of a north aisle, partial reconstruction of the chancel and its arch, and addition of a porch. The building was grade II* listed in 1953. The church is built of sandstone, the roof of the nave and porch are tiled, and the chancel has a stone slate roof. The church consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, and a chancel with a north vestry. On the west gable is a gabled bellcote with twin arches and a cross. In the porch is a small re-set Norman window, and the doorway contains part of a roll-moulded arch. The 15th-century east window has been reset in the north wall. Inside, there is a piscina with elements from the 12th and 13th centuries, an octagonal 17th-century font, and an alms box which may be 17th century.
