Ellerton Abbey House

Ellerton Abbey House is an historic building and estate in Ellerton Abbey, North Yorkshire, England. It was built around 1830 for the Fore Erle-Drax family, and has been designated a Grade II listed building by Historic England. The property is located at the end of a long driveway off the northern side of the B6270 Richmond Road, about 450 feet (140 m) southwest of Ellerton Priory, now ruined. As of 2021, the building is occupied by Ellerton Abbey Antiques and Mrs Pumphrey's Tearoom, the latter in reference to the character in the original version of the BBC television series All Creatures Great and Small who lived there with her spoiled Pekingese dog Tricki-Woo. Filming took place inside the house, which was named Barlby Grange in the series, and in its grounds.

Ellerton Priory (Swaledale)

Ellerton Priory was a priory of Cistercian nuns in Swaledale in North Yorkshire, England. Its ruins lie in the civil parish of Ellerton Abbey.

Marrick Priory Farmhouse

Marrick Priory Farmhouse is a historic building in Marrick, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed in or before the 16th century, as the hall and parlour of Marrick Priory. It later served as a farmhouse, before being divided into two houses. It has been altered over the years, but retains substantial early material. It was grade II* listed in 1966. In the garden are remains of the priory's cloister. The farmhouse is built of stone and has a stone slate roof with copings and kneelers. There are two storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a main range of three bays, the middle bay projecting, a cross-wing on the left, and a rear outshut. On the front is a segmental-arched doorway with a moulded surround. In the middle bay is a casement window, and the other windows are sashes. In the cross-wing is a round-headed window with a chamfered surround.

Marrick Priory

Marrick Priory was a Benedictine nunnery in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England, established between 1140 and 1160 by Roger de Aske. The parish Church of the Virgin Mary and St. Andrew and 400 acres of local land also belonged to the priory, which thrived until the 16th century, in spite of the depredations of marauding Scots. On 15 September 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the prioress Christabel Cowper surrendered the priory to the commissioners John Uvedale and Leonard Bekwith. Her sixteen nuns were evicted, the prioress receiving a pension of 100 shillings and the nuns varying amounts down to 20 shillings (£1 sterling). The site was then leased by the crown to Sir John Uvedale (or Woodhall), who went on to purchase it in 1545 for £364. He sold it in 1592 to Sir Timothy Hutton of Marske, who resold it in 1633 to the Blackburns of Blackburn Hall. The church continued to be used as the place of worship for the local people until 1948, after which it was used as a farm building. It is a grade II* listed building. In 1970 the church was converted, after some years of restoration, into an outdoor education and residential centre for young people, providing outdoor activities such as rock climbing, abseiling, open canoeing, kayaking, caving, ropes course, zip wire, orienteering and team building for several thousand people a year. To the northeast of the priory the Nuns' Steps or Nuns' Causey (causeway) leads through Steps Wood to the village of Marrick. This flagged stone path is thought to have been associated with the priory, perhaps connecting it to the Richmond road or to its lead-mining interests. It is close to Ellerton Priory just along the valley.
