Malton Quaker Meeting House

Malton Quaker Meeting House is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The first Quaker meeting in Malton took place in 1671, and in 1677 a small thatched meeting house was constructed on Spital Hill. During the 18th century, a burial ground was created on Greengate, and between 1820 and 1823 a new meeting house was constructed on part of the burial ground. The building was grade II* listed in 1951. In the 1980s, there was a proposal to demolish the building, but it was instead restored from 1991 to 1993, using a grant from English Heritage. The building is constructed of pink and cream mottled brick on a sandstone plinth, with sandstone dressings, a sill band, a moulded eaves cornice, and a hipped slate roof. There is one tall storey and six bays. On the front is a doorway, above which is a blocked square opening. The windows are sashes, and all the openings have flat arches of gauged brick. Inside, there are two meeting rooms, with a through passage between them. There is a painted timber dado in both rooms, and in the larger rooms there is a timber elder's stand at the west end. The walls enclosing the burial ground are in brick with flat stone coping, some sections dating from the 18th century. The neighbouring caretaker's house also dates from 1823, and is grade II listed. The house is built of pink and cream mottled brick, with an eaves band and slate roof. There are two storeys, one bay facing the road, and two bays on the left return. The windows are sashes with cambered arches. In the left return is a doorway with a cambered head, and an upper floor extension on posts.

Wesley Centre

The Wesley Centre is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. John Wesley preached in Malton in the 1770s, and in 1811 the Wesleyan Methodist Church built a church on Saville Street in the town. The building was grade II listed in 1974, and was upgraded to grade II* in 1995. In 2015, structural issues were discovered with the roof, and the Methodist Church twice attempted to sell the building, without success. Instead, £2 million was raised to restore the building, so that the main hall would become a 600-seat concert venue. The building will also host Sunday religious services, a community cafe, and a food bank. The church is built of pink and cream mottled brick on a stone plinth, with dressings of stone and orange-red brick, a floor band, a sill band, an eaves band, and a hipped pantile roof. There are two storeys and a front of five bays, the middle three bays projecting under a pediment containing a scrolled datestone. Steps lead up to the central doorway that has engaged Tuscan columns, a semicircular traceried fanlight, a plain frieze and a moulded dentilled cornice. This is flanked by doors with similar fanlights, and the outer bays and the upper floor contain round-headed windows with Y-tracery. All the openings are in round-headed recesses. Over the outer bays is a plain coped parapet.

The Shambles, Malton

The Shambles is a street in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The name "Shambles" refers to slaughterhouses and associated butchers' shops. The shambles in Malton was historically alongside St Michael's Church, but in 1826, William Fitzwilliam, 4th Earl Fitzwilliam, commissioned a replacement street of butchers' shops off the north side of the marketplace, leading to his new cattle market. Two terraces of eight shops were constructed, facing each other across the narrow street. The shops were altered in the 20th century, with work including the replacement of their windows. They now contain a mixture of shops and offices. Each terrace was grade II listed in 1993. The shops are constructed of painted brick on a stone plinth with an overhanging slate roof on shaped brackets, hipped and curved at the ends. They have a single storey and each shop is a single bay wide. They contain shopfronts and various windows. Between numbers 10 and 12 is a passage doorway. Inside, the majority retain an altered fireplace.
