Newburgh Priory

Newburgh Priory is a Grade 1 listed Tudor building near Coxwold, North Yorkshire, England. Originally a house of Augustinian canons, it was founded in 1145 and became a family home following the dissolution of the priory in 1538. The present house was built in the late 16th century, substantially remodelled by 4th Viscount Fauconberg 1725-45 and further restored in the 1960s. The 40 acres (16 ha) of grounds contain a water garden, walled garden, topiary yews and woodland walks. It is one of the rumoured burial sites of Oliver Cromwell. The house was once the home of the Bellasis family and the seat of the Earls of Fauconberg until the death of Lady Charlotte Bellayse in 1825, when the property passed to the Wombwell family via the eldest son of her sister, Sir George Wombwell, 3rd Baronet.

Bell House, Coxwold

Bell House is a historic building in Coxwold, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. An almshouse in Coxwold was first recorded in 1644, with an endowment from Thomas Belasyse, 1st Viscount Fauconberg. Fauconberg was on the losing side in the English Civil War, and the almshouse appears to have been dissolved. In 1662, his grandson, Thomas Belasyse, 1st Earl Fauconberg, founded a new almshouse in the village. It was for ten "poor aged and impotent men", and in 1696, he granted it an endowment of £59. He also founded an almshouse for women, but that was subsequently closed. The almshouse became known as the Fauconberg Hospital, and the nearby Fauconberg Arms Inn is named after it. It was Grade II listed in 1952. In 1962, it was restored by Trenwith Wills, and redivided into five larger almshouses, known as "Bell House". The building is constructed of stone, with a stone slate roof at the front, and a pantile roof at the rear, with stone coping and shaped kneelers. There is a single storey and seven bays, and a rear outshut. The middle bay projects as a porch and contains a segmental-arched opening with imposts and a dated keystone, above which is a string course and a coat of arms. Over this is a dormer containing a three-light window with a hood mould and a decorated panel, and recessed on the ridge is a timber bellcote. On the front are four triangular-headed doorways with chamfered surrounds, and six casement windows with hood moulds. In the rear outshut are four dormers.
