St Edward the Confessor's Church, Dringhouses
St Edward the Confessor's Church is an Anglican church in Dringhouses, a suburb of York in England.
During the Mediaeval period, Dringhouses fell within the parish of Holy Trinity Church, Micklegate, but the local parishioners preferred to worship at St Stephen's Church, Acomb, which was closer. In about 1472, a chapel was constructed in the village, dedicated to Saint Helen, on the site later occupied by the library. It was demolished in 1725, and a new chapel was built on the opposite side of the main road, of which only the foundations survive. Between 1847 and 1849, the current church was built, immediately south-west of its predecessor. It was designed by Vickers and Hugall, and was intended to resemble the Church of St Mary and St Nicholas, Littlemore, as it was funded by Mrs Trafford Leigh, who supported the Oxford Movement. An organ was installed in 1868, and a chancel screen designed by C. Hodgson Fowler in 1892. The vestry was enlarged in 1902, and the spire was taken down and replaced by a fibreglass replica in 1970. The building was grade II listed in 1983.
The church is built of limestone, with green slate roofs. It consists of a four-bay nave, a lower chancel, and a north porch. The west wall has diagonal buttresses, and a further central buttress, flanked by two-light Geometrical windows. Atop the gable is a four-sided bell turret, set diagonally, with a clock facing north-west, and pointed bell openings above. The porch has a statue of Edward the Confessor. The interior is painted and gilded, with a floor of Minton tiles.
Inside, the octagonal stone pulpit and font survive, along with wooden pews and choir stalls. The stained glass is by William Wailes. In the vestry there is a white and grey marble monument to Samuel Francis Barlow, dating from 1800, which was moved from the previous chapel.

Knavesmire
The Knavesmire is one of a number of large, marshy undeveloped areas within the city of York in North Yorkshire, England, which are collectively known as Strays. Knavesmire, together with Hob Moor, comprises Micklegate Stray. The York Tyburn, the site of a gallows administered on behalf of The Crown by York Castle, was situated in the area adjacent to the Tadcaster Road.
It has been suggested that the name 'Knavesmire' may share a derivation with Knaresborough—Cenward's mire.

Dringhouses Yard
Dringhouses Yard was a railway freight marshalling yard on the East Coast Main Line (ECML), south of York railway station in England. The yard was built during the First World War to help with the increase in traffic caused by the support to the British war effort. The yard was modernised in the 1960s, being fitted with a hump (knuckle), to ease shunting operations. It was closed to all traffic in 1987 after the loss of local railfreight traffic around York.
