All Saints' Church, Sinnington

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Sinnington, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the early 12th century, from which period the nave and chancel survive. The porch was added slightly later, but the church was otherwise unchanged until the 17th century, when some of the windows were altered. In 1904, the church was restored by C. Hodgson Fowler, the work including rebuilding the chancel arch, addding a vestry and bellcote, and inserting a new west window. The church was grade II* listed in 1953. The church is built of limestone, incorporating fragments of earlier material, and has roofs of stone flags, slate and tile. The church consists of a nave, a south porch, and a chancel with a vestry, and on the west gable is a bellcote with a sprocketed shingled spirelet and a weathervane. The west doorway is Norman, and has a moulded round arch with attached shafts and scalloped capitals. The south doorway is also Norman, and has a round arch with two orders, and traces of waterleaf on the capitals. Inside, there are two piscinae, and 17th-century wooden pews and altar rails.

Sinnington

Sinnington is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is located on the southern boundary of the North York Moors National Park. According to the 2001 UK census, the parish has a total population of 318 people living in 148 households, reduced to a population of 287, at the 2011 Census. The name Sinnington probably derives from the Old English Seveningtūn meaning 'settlement associated with the River Seven'. The nineteenth century agricultural writer, William Marshall, was born here in 1745. The village was formerly served by a railway station on the Gilling and Pickering (G&P) railway line which opened in 1875 and closed on 31 January 1953 for both passengers and freight. Typical of the area are the medieval cruck-built longhouses of Sinnington. These were constructed as single storey combined dwelling and beast houses and made of the local Jurassic limestone. Originally they had ling thatched roofs, but they were mostly re-roofed in the 19th century with grey slate or red pantiles. All Saints' Church, Sinnington, has in its fabric an assemblage of dozens of fragments of pre-Norman crosses and hogback fragments scattered all over the building, inside and out. It appears that several - perhaps the numbers even reach double figures - significant crosses were broken up in order to provide building stone for the twelfth-century workers who built the church. Catherine Parr was resident in the manor of Sinnington, as Lady Latimer, between 1534 and 1543. She was the second wife of John Neville, 3rd Baron Latimer. The manor in nearby Nunnington was owned by her brother William Parr.

Appleton-le-Moors

Appleton-le-Moors is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 183, reducing to 164 in the 2011 census. The village is in the North York Moors National Park, and is near to Pickering and Kirkbymoorside. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, from 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Ryedale, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council. The name Appleton derives from the Old English æppeltūn meaning 'apple orchard'. This ancient village is recorded in the Domesday Book and retains its classic mediaeval layout. It is a site of archaeological interest, being a rich source of finds such as flint tools, Roman coins and a mediaeval oven. It is particularly noted for Christ Church, its exceptionally fine 19th century church which has earned the description "the little gem of moorland churches" and is Grade I listed. It was designed by the architect J.L. Pearson in French Gothic style with elaborate decoration, a tower surmounted with a spire, and a beautiful west-facing rose window of the 10-part (i.e. botanical) design similar to the White Rose of York, with stained-glass panels depicting Christian virtues such as Faith, Hope and Charity. The church and the village hall (formerly a school) were built by Mary Shepherd, widow of Joseph Shepherd (1804–62) who was born in Appleton-le-Moors, went to sea, and became a shipowner and a very rich man. Joseph and Mary are buried in Lastingham churchyard. Joseph built a house in the village, opposite to where the church now stands. In the 1980s and 1990s the house was turned into a country hotel, but it has since returned to being a private residence. For a brief time in the 1840s Joseph employed a teacher to teach the village children but this ceased after his sister Ann Shepherd (who married her cousin Robert Shepherd) and her family, including 12 children, migrated to South Australia in 1843.

Christ Church, Appleton-le-Moors

Christ Church is the parish church of Appleton-le-Moors, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Appleton-le-Moors was historically in the parish of Lastingham. In the 1860s, Mrs J. Shepherd commissioned a church as a memorial to her husband. It was constructed from 1863 to 1866, to a design by John Loughborough Pearson. It is in the early French Gothic style, and was Grade I listed in 1985. The church is built in limestone with slate roofs, and some of its interior details are in Rosedale ironstone. It consists of a nave with a narthex, north and south aisles, a chancel with an apse and a north chapel, and a southeast steeple. The steeple has a tower with two-light bell openings, shafts and lucarnes, and a pyramidal spire. At the west end, the narthex projects between buttresses, and the entrance arch has three orders, shafts and foliate capitals. Above it, in the gable, is a large rose window, with a botanical theme, filled with stained glass by Clayton and Bell which depicts Christian virtues. The windows elsewhere are lancets. A west porch shelters two doors into the church, between which sits the font. Inside, there is a hammerbeam roof, and pink sgraffito decoration in a Classical style, by Clayton & Bell, who also designed the stained glass.

A170 road

The A170 is an A road in North Yorkshire, England that links Thirsk with Scarborough via Sutton Bank and through Helmsley, Kirkbymoorside, and Pickering. The road is 47 miles (76 km), and a single carriageway for almost its totality. The route has been in existence since prehistoric times and there are folk-tales about famous people from history using it. When turnpikes were installed between York and Coxwold and Ampleforth, drovers would take their cattle this way because it was wide enough and meant they avoided paying the tolls.
