The Green Man, Malton

The Green Man is a historic former pub in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The pub originated as three buildings on Market Street, in the town centre. The oldest is the northernmost, a timber-framed building which was probably constructed in the 15th century, and was refronted in 1740. By 1823, it had been converted into an inn, named The Fleece. The southernmost building housed the Green Man inn from at least 1823, but it was reconstructed in the late 19th century. In the late 19th century, it was run by Tom Tate Smith, who founded the drinks wholesaler Tate Smith, which is still based in the town. The middle building is early 19th century, and was amalgamated into one of the pubs in the mid 20th century. During the 20th century, all three buildings were extended to the rear. In 1977, the three buildings were combined to form a larger Green Man pub. The work included a new, central, entrance. The building was grade II listed in 1974. The pub closed in 2011. The building is rendered at the front, the northern house has a Welsh slate roof, and the others have pantile roofs. The northern house has two storeys and four bays, the middle house has two storeys and an attic, and two bays, and the southern house has three storeys and four bays. In the extreme north bay is a passage entry, and there are two doorways with canopies. On the ground floor is a bow window and a canted bay window, most of the other windows are sashes, and the middle house has two dormers. Inside the southern house is an inglenook fireplace.

St Michael's Church, Malton

St Michael's Church is the parish church of Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The church was built in about 1150, from which period much of the nave survives. The tower was added in the 15th century, at which time the nave was slightly shortened. The chancel was rebuilt in 1858, then in 1883 under George Fowler Jones the south arcade and east end of the nave were rebuilt, two galleries were removed, and transepts were added. In 1966 the south side of the church was rebuilt, and in about 1986 the north aisle roof was replaced. The building has been grade II* listed since 1951. The church is built of sandstone with a slate roof, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, north and south transepts, a chancel with a north vestry and organ chamber and a south chapel, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, angle buttresses, a chamfered plinth, and moulded string courses. On the west side is a doorway with a moulded surround, a four-centred arch and a hood mould, and above it is a Perpendicular window. The bell openings have pointed cusped openings and hood moulds, and above is a plain parapet. Inside, there is a 17th-century font, and there is a 20th-century screen between the nave and the south chapel.

Vanbrugh Arch

The Vanbrugh Arch is a historic structure in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The arch is believed to date from the first half of the 18th century, and to have been constructed as part of work either on York House or the neighbouring Talbot Hotel. It may have been the original principal entrance to the Talbot Hotel, or the entrance to a stable yard between the two properties. It is similar in style to a nearby gateway and a flight of steps, probably by the same designer. Its architect is not known with certainty, but it has been long associated with John Vanbrugh; it matches a design in one of Vanbrugh's sketchbooks, and is similar to an archway designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor under Vanbrugh's direction, at the Walled Garden, Castle Howard. It was moved to its current location in the 1800s, to provide access between the Talbot Hotel and its stable yard. It was listed in 1951, along with the retaining walls either side, and raised to grade II* in 2013. The wall is built of limestone, with the lower courses in sandstone. It extends for about 45 metres (148 ft), it is up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) tall, and at intervals it contains square section piers with shallow pyramidal caps. The archway is in Hildenley limestone, and it has quoined jambs, the alternate ones vermiculated. The arch consists of five vermiculated voussoirs, and above it is a pediment with a moulded cornice.

York House, Malton

York House is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The core of the building was probably constructed in the 15th century, within the town walls. It was rebuilt in about 1684, perhaps for William Strickland or Ralph Elwes. It was partly rebuilt in the early 18th century, when the centre of the garden front was brought forward. It had substantial gardens, which survive largely intact. The building was Grade II* listed in 1951, and the wall and railings in front of it are separately Grade II* listed. The history of the building is linked to that of the neighbouring Talbot Hotel, and the house currently forms an annexe to the hotel. The house is built of sandstone, with a stone slate roof, coped gables and shaped kneelers. It has two storeys and an attic, and an H-shaped plan, with a centre range of two bays, and flanking gabled cross-wings, on a chamfered plinth. In the centre is a doorway with an eared architrave and a keystone, above it is a coved eaves course, and a moulded eaves cornice, and in the attic is a gabled dormer. The wings have quoins and sillbands. In the centre at the rear is a giant round-headed arch with a rusticated and quoined surround. The windows in all parts are sashes in architraves. Inside, the entrance hall retains an early 18th-century paved floor, and early panelling and staircases also survive. The wall in front of the house is built of stone, about 0.5 metres (1 ft 8 in) tall, with cambered coping, ending in square piers with a moulded cornice and pyramidal cap. The gate piers are square, with rebated angles and banded rustication, each with a moulded cornice, a stepped cap, and a ball and pedestal finial with a band of vermiculated rustication. The gates, overthrow and railings are in wrought iron, and highly ornamented.

Talbot Hotel, Malton

The Talbot Hotel is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The building straddles the line of the town wall, and the Malton Buildings Group argues that part of the wall may survive in its basement. A large house stood on the site by 1599, elements of which may also survive in the basement. It was purchased by the Strickland baronets in 1672, and was generally used as a guest house for friends of the family visiting the town to hunt and race horses. Between 1740 and 1743, it was converted into a coaching inn. Its first landlord was Walter Baldock, formerly of the town's Talbot Inn, and he named the new business as the "New Talbot Inn". The west wing was extended in about 1775, and in 1808 a third storey was added. By this time, it was served by stagecoaches to Leeds, York, Scarborough and Whitby, and it became known as the "Talbot Hotel". The main block was remodelled in about 1840, and in the 1870s a billiard room was added. In 1946, the hotel was leased to Trust Houses Ltd, which incorporated three neighbouring houses into the property, increasing the total number of bedrooms from 16 to 26. The hotel was grade II* listed in 1951. It was refurbished between 2010 and 2012 and was thereafter managed by the Fitzwilliam Malton Estate. For three years, the hotel's menus were overseen by James Martin. The hotel is mainly built of rendered stone, with pink and cream mottled brick at the rear, quoins, a moulded eaves cornice and a hipped slate roof with iron corner scrolls. It consists of four ranges around a courtyard, and has three storeys. The entrance front has six bays, and contains a doorway with a plain surround and a radial fanlight. The windows are sashes with flat arches of voussoirs. The front facing Yorkersgate has five bays, and a two-story two-bay wing to the left. In the centre is a doorcase flanked by square piers, and with a plain cornice on moulded corbels. The doorway has a rusticated surround, and a flat arch of voussoirs with a keystone. Above the doorway is a square bay window containing a tripartite sash window under a projecting moulded cornice, and the other windows are sashes. The garden wall and gateways, and retaining wall and steps to the west of the hotel are separately grade II* listed. They resemble the nearby Vanbrugh Arch, and so are suspected of having been designed by John Vanbrugh. The inner face of the garden wall is mainly in red brick, the outer face is mainly in limestone, and it has flat coping. The wall is about 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in) tall, and runs northwest for about 100 metres (330 ft), then south for about 30 metres (98 ft). It contains two square-headed archways in Hildenley limestone. The archway facing the entrance to the hotel is ornamented, it has radiating voussoirs and heavily rusticated jambs, and is infilled with stone and brick. To the west is another similar, but less ornamented arch, which is not infilled. The retaining wall and staircase are in Hildenley limestone. The terrace wall extends for about 60 metres (200 ft), and has cambered coping, and pilaster buttresses that form piers. The staircase makes a quarter turn, it has raked parapet walls with chamfered coping, and it ends in cylindrical piers with shallow domed tops. It is flanked by raked screen walls with square piers. At the head of the staircase is a short flight of simpler steps.
