Aldborough Hall

Aldborough Hall is a historic building in Aldborough, North Yorkshire, a village in England. The hall was probably built in the early 17th century. A wing was added to the north in the Victorian period, but was later demolished. The building was Grade II* listed in 1952. It was put up for sale in 1999 for £950,000, at which time, it had seven bedrooms, five reception rooms, four bathrooms and two kitchens, with a tennis court in the grounds. The three-storey house is built of red brick, with stone dressings, quoins, and a Welsh slate roof. There are twin gables on the front and rear, and a full-height gabled bay projecting from the centre on three sides. On the west side is a three-storey canted bay window with an embattled parapet. The windows are mullioned and transomed. Inside the house are several fittings brought from elsewhere: a late medieval fireplace, a Jacobean staircase from Lymore, and panelling from various locations, most notably Ashley Park.

St Andrew's Church, Aldborough

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Aldborough, North Yorkshire, a village in England. Aldborough is the site of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantum, and it is believed that the church lies on the site of a temple to Mercury. Two churches successively occupied the site before the present building was commenced, in the early 14th century. In 1318, the building was partly destroyed by raiders from Scotland, but it was repaired, with a north chantry chapel added in 1333, and the north aisle dating from about 1360. The clerestory dates from the 15th century, the roof was restored in the 16th century, and the south aisle was rebuilt in 1827. The church was Grade I listed in 1966. The church is built of red sandstone with a lead roof, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a chancel, a north chapel, and a west tower. The tower has angle buttresses, a west window with a pointed arch and hood mould, a clock face on the west side, two-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet. The east window has five lights and is in Perpendicular style. Inside, the roof is panelled, with bosses. There is Mediaeval stained glass in the north aisle, and 14th-century canopies which would originally have sheltered figures. There is a weathered Roman sculpture which may represent Mercury, a 16th-century panel depicting Daniel in the Lion's Den, and a brass of William of Adleburgh, dating from around 1360. There is 17th-century panelling in the chancel, moved from elsewhere, a communion rail from about 1700, and 18th-century breadshelves.

Aldborough, North Yorkshire

Aldborough is a village in the civil parish of Boroughbridge, 7 miles (11 km) to the north-east of Knaresborough, in North Yorkshire, England. Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Aldborough was built on the site of a major Romano-British town, Isurium Brigantum. The Brigantes, the most populous Celtic tribe in the area at the time of the Roman occupation of Britain, used the settlement as a capital. Isurium may also have been the base of the Roman Legio VIIII Hispana.

Battle Cross, Boroughbridge

The Battle Cross is a historic monument in Aldborough, North Yorkshire in England. The 18-foot high cross was erected to commemorate the Battle of Boroughbridge, which took place in 1322. The cross itself is probably 15th century, and it originally stood in the market place of Boroughbridge. In 1852, it was moved to the nearby village of Aldborough, in front of St Andrew's Church. It was Grade II listed in 1966. The cross consists of four diagonal shafts with spurs between, in three diminishing stages, with moulded capitals. The shafts of the middle stage have crocketed capitals, and the top stage has a crocketed capital. The top parts have been damaged, and Nikolaus Pevsner describes them as having been "reassembled with dubious accuracy".
