St James' Church, Clapham

St James' Church is the parish church of Clapham, North Yorkshire, in England. The church was originally constructed in the 15th century. Other than the tower, it was rebuilt in 1814, and in 1899 a south porch was added and some of the windows were altered. The building was Grade II listed in 1958. In 2013, the National Churches Trust gave a grant of £10,000 towards repairs. The church is built of stone with a slate roof and consists of a nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, and a west doorway with a moulded surround, a Tudor arch and a hood mould, above which is a three-light window with a pointed arch. Over this is a small window with a trefoil head, a clock face and bell openings with two lights, and at the top is an embattled parapet with a central gargoyle on each side. Inside, the dado panelling is reused from 17th-century pews, while the current pews date from the 1899 alterations.

Ingleborough Hall

Ingleborough Hall is a historic building in Clapham, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The house was built in about 1814 for James Farrer, to a design by William Atkinson. In 1894, one of James Farrer's descendents, Reginald Farrer, created a rock garden in the grounds, which he continued to work on until his death in 1920. The house was Grade II* listed in 1958. It was later purchased by Bradford City Council, which ran it as an outdoor activity centre, mostly used for school trips. In 2024, the council proposed selling off the building, which it claimed required expensive maintenance. The house is built of stone with sill bands and a hipped slate roof, and has two storeys. The south garden front has seven bays, the central three bays forming a two-storey domed bow window, with four giant engaged Greek Doric columns and an entablature, and it contains three French windows. The west entrance front has three bays, and has a massive portico of engaged Doric columns in antis, and a projecting entablature with triglyphs, metopes, and a cornice with guttae. The ground floor windows in both fronts are sashes, and in the upper floor they are casements. Inside, the main staircase is original, and moulded cornices survive in the main ground floor rooms.
