Masham Bridge
Masham Bridge is a historic structure in Masham, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. In 1538, John Leland recorded a timber bridge over the River Ure in Masham. It was destroyed by a flood on 2 February 1732, and a new bridge built of stone was commissioned by Robert Carr. It was designed by his son, John Carr, and was completed in 1754. Brian Wragg describes it as "one of the finest bridges in Yorkshire". On 2 February 1822, it was badly damaged by a flood, but was repaired. It was grade II listed in 1966. The bridge is built of stone and consists of four segmental arches with voussoirs. It has triangular cutwaters rising to canted refuges, a band and parapets.

Old Gaol and Carriage House
The Old Gaol and Carriage House is a historic building in Masham, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was constructed in the mid or late 18th century, as the town's gaol and a carriage house which housed the town's fire engine. The carriage house was later used as a garage, while the gaol became part of a house. The building was grade II listed in 1979. By 2011, it was a four-bedroom property which was purchased for £350,000. The new owners converted it into a bed and breakfast, which in 2015 was named the best bed and breakfast in the world.
The building is in stone with a stone slate roof, hipped on the right, and one storey. On the front is a round-arched doorway with an impost band and a keystone. To the right is a flat-headed doorway with an impost band, and above it is a small barred window. In the right return is a nail-studded door with an iron locking-bar.
