St Mary's Church, Scawton

St Mary's Church is the parish church of Scawton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the middle of the 12th century. Most of the windows have been altered, particularly in the 15th century. The building was restored in 1892 by C. Hodgson Fowler, who added a porch. The church was grade I listed in 1955. The church is built of limestone with a Welsh slate roof, and consists of a nave, a south porch, and a chancel. On the west gable end is a wooden bellcote. The porch contains a round-arched doorway with two moulded orders on colonnettes with scalloped capitals, and above it is a beaded hood mould. Inside, there is a niche to the left of the altar with a trough and two columns, probably a lavatorium which may have been brought from elsewhere. To the right of the altar is an aumbry, piscina and sedile. There is a round font which may be Norman but has a later base and a 17th-century octagonal wooden cover.

Scawton

Scawton is a village and former civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. The hamlet lies just east of Sutton Bank, north of the A170 road, and 5 miles (8 km) west of Helmsley, in the Hambleton Hills. The wider parish was the setting for the Battle of Old Byland, on Scawton Moor to the south. The road through the village used to link the two abbeys at Byland and Rievaulx, with the church, and possibly the village pub, being instigated by the monks for the use of travellers. In 1961 the parish had a population of 84.

Duncombe Park

Duncombe Park is the seat of the Duncombe family who previously held the title Earls of Feversham. The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Earl in 1963, since when the family have continued to hold the title Baron Feversham. The park is situated one mile south-west of Helmsley, North Yorkshire, England and stands in 300 acres (120 ha) of parkland. The estate has a commanding location above deeply incised meanders of the River Rye within the North York Moors National Park. The house was completed in 1713 for Thomas Duncombe (born Thomas Brown) to designs by the Yorkshire gentleman-architect William Wakefield. It was remodelled in 1843 by Sir Charles Barry. In 1879 the main block was gutted by fire and remained a ruin until 1895 when rebuilding was carried out by William Young. The reconstruction was based on the original design, though there were changes made, especially in the interior layout to meet contemporary needs. It is of two storeys with a basement and attic. The house itself is not open to the public but visitors are allowed into the 30-acre (12 ha) garden from April until the end of August.
