Ryedale District
Ryedale was a non-metropolitan district in North Yorkshire, England. It was in the Vale of Pickering, a low-lying flat area of land drained by the River Derwent. The Vale's landscape is rural with scattered villages and towns. It has been inhabited continuously from the Mesolithic period. The economy was largely agricultural with light industry and tourism playing an increasing role. Towns included Helmsley, Kirkbymoorside, Malton, Norton-on-Derwent, and Pickering. Part of Ryedale lies within the North York Moors National Park. The A64 passed through Ryedale and villages such as Rillington. In the 2011 Census, the population of this primarily rural area of 150,659 hectares, the largest district in North Yorkshire, was 51,700.

Malton Lodge
Malton Lodge, also known as the Old Lodge, is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England.
In 1569, Ralph Eure, 3rd Baron Eure built a large house on the site of Malton Castle. His family constructed a gatehouse to the property in 1604. In 1674, the main house was demolished, but the gatehouse was retained and altered to form "Malton Lodge". In about 1834, it was extended on both sides, and in 1878 it was again extended to the left, with outbuildings further to the left. The building was Grade II* listed in 1951. It currently serves as a hotel.
The building is constructed of sandstone with a pantile roof. The entrance front has two storeys and five bays, with a one-storey three-bay extension to the right, a two-storey two bay extension to the left, and later extensions further to the left. The middle three bays of the entrance front project, and have paired Tuscan and Doric columns, a moulded string course, a moulded eaves cornice and an embattled parapet flanked by ogee-headed turrets. In the centre of the front is a round arch with a keystone, and an inserted doorway and lunette. Most of the windows are mullioned, some with hood moulds, and in the centre of the parapet is a panel with a moulded surround. Inside, there are two 17th-century staircases and Jacobean woodwork including an elaborate fireplace.
A 70-metre (230 ft) stretch of the screen wall to the outer forecourt of the former house survives in the grounds of the lodge, and is separately Grade II* listed. The wall is built of sandstone with sloped coping, and is about 5 metres (16 ft) tall, rising to 6.5 metres (21 ft) over the arches. In the centre is a round arch of voussoirs, now partly blocked, with paired pilasters on bulbous moulded pedestals, imposts, a frieze and a moulded projecting cornice. To the left is an elliptical arch between pilaster buttresses.
