Kepwick Hall
Kepwick Hall is a historic building in Kepwick, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building lies on the site of the manor house, first recorded in 1379. The current building was constructed in 1873, to a design by Robert Johnson Goodacre. He also designed a large extension, which was completed in 1889, and there was some alterations in about 1930. The country house was grade II listed in 1990, along with the attached service wing and coach house. The Victoria County History describes it as "a fine mansion". In 2002, it was owned by Peter Stephenson, chair of Able UK, who was shot in the head after confronting three people in the grounds.
The building is constructed of stone on a chamfered plinth, with bands, a coped parapet, and slate roofs with coped gables and kneelers. It has two storeys and attics, and a south front of three bays, with a slightly projecting wing on the right. The east front has ten bays, and the west front has six bays and a gabled porch with a chamfered surround, and a segmental-headed doorway with a tripartite fanlight. All the windows are chamfered cross mullions. To the north is a three-storey service wing, and beyond that is a coach house with a small courtyard, approached through a large round archway with a hood mould and a keystone.

St Michael's Church, Cowesby
St Michael' Church is the parish church of Cowesby, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
A church in Cowesby was first mentioned in 1227, and by the early 19th century, it was considered the second oldest in the district, after St Mary's Church, Leake. Despite this, it was demolished and a new church completed in 1846. It is in the Norman style, and was designed by Anthony Salvin. The building was Grade II listed in 1990.
The church is built of stone, with a stone slate roof. It consists of a three-bay nave, a south porch, a single-bay chancel, and a central tower. The tower has two stages, and contains two-light bell openings on the north and south sides, and single-light windows on the other sides. It is surmounted by a corbelled pyramidal roof with lucarnes and a weathervane. The windows in the body of the church and the doorways have round-arched heads. Inside, there is a 17th-century altar rail, and there are round-arched commandment tablets either side of the east window.

Kepwick Mill
Kepwick Mill is a historic building in Kepwick, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The mill was Grade II listed in 1990.
The watermill lies on Sorrow Beck, probably on the same site as the manorial mill recorded in 1379. The current building dates from the late 18th century, with a two-storey extension to the south in 1882. It was used to grind corn for many years, but has more recently been converted into offices.
The mill is built of stone, and has a slate roof with stone coping and kneelers. At the south end are two storeys, beyond which is a gabled cross wing with two storeys and an attic, and at the northeast is a pair of stepped buttresses. Most of the windows are horizontally-sliding sashes. On the south front is a diamond-shaped plaque inscribed "E.W. 1882". There is a large iron and wood waterwheel on the west front, and the corn grinding machinery survives in what is now the reception area.
