Christ Church, East Layton

Christ Church is an Anglican church in East Layton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A chapel in East Layton was first recorded in 1619. The current building was constructed in 1895, commissioned by Mrs Maynard Proud, and is still owned by her family trust. It was designed by James Pigott Pritchett Jr and Herbert Dewes Pritchett, and is said to be modelled on the design of Worcester Cathedral. It was originally a chapel of ease to St John the Baptist's Church, Stanwick, and is now in the parish of St Cuthbert's Church, Forcett. It was grade II listed in 1969. In the 2010s, the owning family restored the church at a cost of £20,000. It is not licensed for weddings, but in 2014 it was granted a special licence by the Archbishop of York to hold its first ever marriage ceremony. The church is built of stone with tile roofs, and is in the Perpendicular style. It has a cruciform plan, consisting of a nave, a south porch, north and south transepts, a chancel, and a tower at the crossing. The tower has octagonal diagonal buttresses rising to turret finials, three-light bell openings with hood moulds, and an embattled parapet. Inside, original fittings include the altar, reredos, pulpit, pews, vestry screen and font.

Stanwick Iron Age Fortifications

The Stanwick Iron Age Fortifications (also known as 'Stanwick Camp'), a huge Iron Age hill fort, sometimes but not always considered an oppidum, comprising over 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) of ditches and ramparts enclosing approximately 300 hectares (740 acres) of land, are situated in Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England. Whether Stanwick was the stronghold of Venutius or Cartimandua, or perhaps of them both for a brief time before their acrimonious split some time after 51 AD, it is certain that this settlement was one of the most important in Brigantia, the Brigantes kingdom during the early stages of the Roman occupation of Britain. The site is a scheduled monument.
