St Edward the Confessor's Church, Scarborough
St Edward the Confessor's Church is a Catholic church in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England.
The first Catholic church in Scarbough was St Peter's. By the 1890s, the town had grown, and it was decided to establish chapels of ease in suburbs of the town. The first of these was St Edward the Confessor, in the South Cliff area of the town. Fundraising was slow, and work began in 1912, after a Mr Anderson from York donated £1,000. The building was designed by John Petch & Son, and was completed in 1914. It is in the neo-Byzantine style, described by Eugène Roulin as being "modernised with tactful taste". In 1968, the church was given its own parish, but it became a chapel of ease again in 1999.
The church is built of red brick with stone dressings, and has a pantile roof. It consists of a nave and sanctuary, porch and southwest tower. The tower is square in the lower stages and octagonal in its upper stage, with a tiled pyramidal roof. The windows have elaborate tracery, inspired by early Christian examples. The interior is simple, with a panelled dado, original oak pews, a stone altar with carvings of reindeer, and a stone reredos. There is a panelled canopy above the altar, and a wooden gallery at the west end.

St Martin's Vicarage
St Martin's Vicarage is a historic building in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England.
The house was constructed as the vicarage of St Martin-on-the-Hill, Scarborough. Some sources date it to 1863, but Nikolaus Pevsner argues that it must be later, as inside there is stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe, which was manufactured around 1889. Like the church, it was designed by G. F. Bodley, but is in the Queen Anne style, similar to work by Norman Shaw. The building was grade II* listed in 1973.
The vicarage is built of red brick, with moulded dressings, a string course and a tile roof. It has two storeys and attics, Three of the bays project under pediments and contain small-pane sash windows, and above each bay is a gable containing a window, over which is a pediment. Between the left two bays is a doorway, above which is a carved panel and a pediment.
