St John's Church, Hipswell

St John's Church is an Anglican church in Hipswell, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. There was a church in Hipswell by the late mediaeval period, although only the only remain is a 16th-century window head. The current church was built in 1811, and in 1893 C. Hodgson Fowler added the chancel, vestry and replaced the windows. It was grade II listed in 1969. The church is built of sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel under one roof, a south porch and a north vestry. On the west gable is a bellcote with a corbelled cupola. The porch is gabled, and has a four-centred arch with the date on the apex stone. Inside, the old window head is in the vestry, while there is a timber screen at the west end of the church. There is a wall monument to the Reverend James Robinson.

Hipswell Hall

Hipswell Hall is a historic building in Hipswell, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building dates from the late 15th century, but it is likely that John Wycliffe was born in an earlier building on the site. It was constructed for the Fulthorpe family, in a similar style to South Cowton Castle but more elegant. In 1559, it passed to the Wandesford family, and in 1596 they enlarged the hall. In about 1840, much of the building was demolished, leaving only the west range. It became used as a farmhouse. In about 1917 a flat-roofed extension was added, reusing some old materials. The building was grade I listed in 1969. The house is constructed of stone, partly roughcast, with quoins, an embattled parapet, and a stone slate roof. It has two storeys, and projecting from the front is a three-storey tower porch. The porch contains a doorway with a chamfered surround and a lintel with a triangular soffit. Above this is a mullioned window in each floor and a plain parapet. To the left of the porch is a mullioned window in the ground floor and a mullioned and transomed window in the upper floor. To the right is a five-sided two-storey bay window with cinquefoil heads and an embattled parapet with the arms of the Fulthorpes. Between the floors is a traceried panel with a cross moline. The interior has been heavily altered, but an early plaster ceiling with an armorial shield survives in the ground floor bay window.
