Grassington Congregational Church

Grassington Congregational Church is a historic church in Grassington, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. In 1811, two or three residents in Grassington became interested in congregationalism, and requested that student ministers from Idle visit to preach. This proved successful, and a church building was quickly constructed, opening on Christmas Day. In 1857, an infants' school was added at the rear of the church, and the front and left facades of the church were rendered in stone. The roof was replaced in 1861, and in 1876 pews were installed on the ground floor. An extension with a kitchen and toilets was added in 1988, and the church was repaired in 2009. The building was grade II listed in 1989. The church is built of gritstone, partly rendered, with stone gutter brackets, and a stone slate roof with stone gable copings and kneelers. There are two storeys, and fronts of three bays. On the entrance front are incised angle pilasters, and two round-arches doorways each with an architrave, tie-stone jambs, a fanlight with radial glazing, a keystone and a hood mould. Between the doorways is a rectangular window, above which is a plaque under sun-ray moulding containing an inscription and the date. All the windows date from the 20th century. There is an internal porch, with a wooden staircase leading up to a balcony, now divided from the main hall but retaining its original seating. The main chapel has a raised platform to the north-east, and cast iron columns supporting the balcony.

Grassington Hall

Grassington Hall is a historic building in Grassington, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The manor house was probably built in the 1280s for Robert de Plumpton. From that period survives what is now the north-east range, including several of the original windows. It is sometimes held to be the oldest inhabited house in the Yorkshire Dales. In the 17th century, George Lister and the Topham family rebuilt part of the hall, and added a new wing to the southwest. Around 1800, the first floor rooms were partitioned. The hall was restored in about 1870 for the Duke of Devonshire, to serve as accommodation and offices for his lead agent, work including a new roof and main staircase. It was again restored in 1980, with work including lower extensions to the left and right. The building was grade II* listed in 1954. The house is built of gritstone, with quoins, and a stone slate roof with bulbous kneelers, gable copings and ball finials. It has two storeys and attics, two parallel ranges, and fronts of two and three bays. Most of the windows are mullioned with hood moulds, although in the Mediaeval hall there is also a paired lancet windows. In the left bay of the main front is a two-storey porch containing a pointed arch with a chamfered surround and quoined jambs. The southwest facade has a doorway from 1870, in the Tudor style. Inside, there is a 17th-century fireplace, narrowed in the 18th century. The northeast section includes a first floor hall with an undercroft.
