In April 2021, Historic England announced the discovery of an important Roman residential site during a survey for a new housing estate, suggesting it to be either a religious sanctuary, a luxury villa or combination of both. It is a type of building layout not known of elsewhere in Britain. Within hours of the announcement of the discovery, people trespassed onto the site and caused damage to the building. The discovery of the site caused a reduction of planned homes, from approximately 150 to 94.

St George's Church, Scarborough

St George's Church is a Catholic church in the Eastfield area of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. When the Eastfield estate was constructed, Catholic mass was initially said in the community centre. In 1957, a building was constructed to serve as a combined church and church hall. The building was designed by Francis Johnson, and the work, including a nearby presbytery, cost £15,000. It was originally a chapel of ease to St Peter's Church, Scarborough, but in 1965 it was given its own parish. In the 1980s the entrance front was extended, to provide a new entrance, kitchen, and other service spaces. In 1999, the church reverted to serving as a chapel of ease. The building is constructed of red brick with a pantile roof. Half the building is the church and the other half is the church hall, the two divided by a folding screen which can be removed to create a single space. The building has doors and windows of domestic style. The entrance bays are gabled. Inside, it has pews brought from the chapel at Houghton Hall, East Riding of Yorkshire, and wooden furnishings in the sanctuary from 1957. These include the altar and altar rail, holy water stoup, candlesticks, and statues including the Stations of the Cross. There is a small side chapel and a recess for the organ.

St John the Baptist's Church, Cayton

St John the Baptist's Church is the parish church of Cayton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was constructed in the 12th century, from which period the chancel, north aisle, and part of the nave date. In the 15th century, the nave was extended, and a tower and north chapel were added. There was at one time a vault, which has since been filled in. In 1947, a clock was installed on the tower, celebrating that it was believed to be one of the doubly Thankful Villages. The church was Grade I listed in 1967. The church is built of sandstone with a Welsh slate roof, and consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel with a north chapel and vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, two-light flat-topped bell openings, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The gabled porch contains a round-arched Norman doorway that has two orders of shafts with scalloped capitals, and the arch with chevron decoration. Inside the church is a slightly pointed 12th-century arcade, and a 12th-century font on a 19th-century base. The wooden door and doorframe to the tower date from 1678. There is a slab on the chancel floor with a brass inscription dating from 1452, and there are also some 18th-century monuments. There is an 18th-century charity board, and the oak communion table is 17th century.
