15 Bridge Street

15 Bridge Street is a historic building in Richmond, North Yorkshire, a town in England. The house was constructed in the early 18th century on the steep Bridge Street. A ground floor bay window was added in about 1800, and there is also an extension to the right-hand side. It is one of only four houses in the town with original 18th-century ironwork, and its interior is particularly well preserved; most of the original doors and some cupboard doors survive, along with most cornices, fireplaces, and a four-storey staircase described by Historic England as "magnificent". The building was grade II* listed in 1952. The house is built of stone with a floor band and a stone slate roof with kneelers. It has four storeys on the left and three on the right, and three bays, and a narrow angled two-storey single-bay extension on the right. Steps lead up to the central doorway and to is right is a bay window with fluted pilasters and an ornamental frieze. The windows are sash windows in stone surrounds. The doorway and the windows on the upper three floors have rusticated keystones. The extension contains a doorway, above which is a window and a parapet.

Richmond Castle

Richmond Castle in Richmond, North Yorkshire, England, stands in a commanding position above the River Swale, close to the centre of the town of Richmond. It was originally called Riche Mount, 'the strong hill'. The castle was constructed by Alan Rufus from 1071 onwards following the Norman Conquest of England, and the Domesday Book of 1086 refers to 'a castlery' at Richmond. In the 12th century, his great-nephew Conan expanded the castle and built the keep. Although it was derelict by 1540, it was restored centuries later. The property is the best-preserved early Norman castle in England and an important tourist attraction. The building is Grade I listed and under the care of English Heritage.

Richmond Market Cross

Richmond Market Cross is a historic structure in Richmond, North Yorkshire, a town in England. A mediaeval cross stood in Richmond's market square; Christopher Clarkson described it as "the greatest beauty in the Town". It was atop a plinth, surrounded by a 6 feet (1.8 m)-wall, ornamented with the shields of four local families, and with a stone dog at each corner. Despite this, the cross was demolished and replaced with a tall obelisk, which was completed in 1771. It has been a focal point for the town, with the maypole, stocks, pillory and boulder for bear baiting all having been located around it. Under the obelisk is a 12,000 imperial gallons (55,000 L)-tank which long served as the town's main reservoir. The Victoria County History describes the obelisk as "not an interesting structure", but the Darlington and Stockton Times claims it is "characterfully curious". The cross consists of a stone tapering obelisk with an octagonal plan. It stands on a plinth with alternating rectangular and round-headed niches, the latter with small pediments on brackets. Above it is a fluted frieze and a moulded cornice, and the obelisk is surmounted by a granite ball finial. The obelisk bulges with what Nikolaus Pevsner describes as a "stupa-like entasis". It has been grade II* listed since 1952.
