The Old Chapel, Ripon

The Old Chapel is a historic building in Ripon, a city in North Yorkshire, in England. The first Wesleyan Methodist Church in Ripon opened in 1777, in an existing building on Coltsgate Hill. John Wesley visited the chapel in 1780. In 1861, the building was demolished and a replacement chapel was constructed, at a cost of £2,000. In 1871, a Wesleyan day school was opened across the road; this operated until about 1940 and was later converted into flats. In 1932, the Wesleyan Methodists became part of the new Methodist Union, and the chapel closed in 1963, the congregation moving to the former Primitive Methodist chapel on Allhallowgate. The building was converted to become the city's first supermarket, U-Save. In the 1970s, it became a hi-fi shop, and it was later used as offices. In 2017, it was sold for conversion into housing. The building has been grade II listed since 1977. The chapel is built of brick with stone dressings, rusticated quoins, a sill band, and a pediment containing an oculus and carved foliage in the tympanum. There are two storeys, four bays on the front and six on the sides. In the centre are paired doorways, each flanked by Tuscan half-columns with an entablature, a semicircular fanlight with moulded voussoirs, imposts and a keystone. The windows are sashes, with segmental heads on the ground floor, round heads and moulded imposts on the upper floor, and all with keystones.

Liberty of Ripon

The Liberty of Ripon or Riponshire was a liberty possessing separate county jurisdiction, although situated within the county of Yorkshire, England. The liberty was under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of York, a privilege claimed to have been granted by King Aethelstan in the 10th century. The liberty was governed by a high steward and justices of the peace, appointed by the archbishop, and the area had separate quarter sessions, in conjunction with the mayor and recorder of the borough of Ripon, in whose town hall they were held. In 1831 the following parishes and townships (locally in the North and West Ridings of Yorkshire) were in the liberty: Most of Ripon Felixkirk Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe Kilburn, North Yorkshire Nidd with Killinghall Marton-cum-Moxby In 1836 the temporal jurisdiction of the archbishop was ended, with the power to appoint justices revested in the crown, and in 1837 the townships locally in the North Riding were removed from the liberty. In 1889, the Local Government Act 1888 came into operation. Section 48 of the Act merged "every liberty and franchise of a county" into its surrounding administrative county. While this was the end of the liberty's administrative functions, separate quarter sessions continued until 1953, and it was also a distinct unit for land tax purposes for some time.

The western part of the pub is a timber-framed building, constructed in the 17th century, while the eastern part of the pub was built in the early 19th century. By this time, it was an important coaching inn, served by the Earl of Zetland, Richmond Courier, Impire and Union stagecoaches. The western part was refronted in the mid 19th century.

Park Street Gazebos

The Park Street Gazebos are a historic structure in Ripon, a city in North Yorkshire, in England. The two gazebos were probably built shortly before 1719, in the garden of a house on Park Street, owned by the Baynes family. They were designed to provide a viewpoint over the surrounding area, and as a banqueting house. Perhaps in the mid 19th century, a wall with a raised walkway was constructed to connect the gazebos, although Historic England describes the wall as being apparently of the same date as the gazebos. The house was later divided into two properties, and the gazebos fell into ruin, the roofs having collapsed. Harrogate Town Council used a compulsory purchase order on the building and restored it in 1986. The building has been grade II* listed since 1949. The gazebos are built of red brick, with stone dressings, and pyramidal pantile roofs with ball finials. They consist of two-storey pavilions with plaster coves, stone bands and rusticated quoins, and a door on the upper storey. Between them is a two-storey gallery, the ground floor with four bays containing semicircular arches with rusticated jambs and voussoirs. The upper floor has a balustrade, and piers with ornamental carving. At the rear are four niches with rusticated surrounds.
