Church of St Mary, Westow
St Mary's Church, also known as Church of St Mary of the Moor or St Mary ad mora is a church located in the village of Westow, North Yorkshire.
The church dates back to Norman times but was almost entirely rebuilt in the 1860s, at a cost of £1,400 (equivalent to £165,015 in 2023), with only the Norman tower remaining. The rebuilding largely made use of the original stone.
Inside of the church is a Norman water font, a cresset thought to have come from Kirkham Priory, and a memorial to George Montaigne, Squire of Westow, who fought on the Royalist side in the English Civil War.
In the church's graveyard, the former residents of Westow are buried on one side, those of Firby on another, and those of Menethorpe on another—as the church is roughly equidistant from each settlement.

Aldby Park
Aldby Park is a country estate in the village of Buttercrambe, near the village of Stamford Bridge in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The house, replacing the original Tudor one, was built around 1725 by Jane Darley but it occupies an ancient site believed to be where Edwin of Northumbria was crowned King in 625 AD.
Aldby Park is best known as being the ancestral home of the Darley family. This family's best known member is Thomas Darley, brother of Jane Darley, who owned the celebrated Darley Arabian horse which is widely recognised as being the earliest ancestor of most of the world's thoroughbred race horses. Most recently, it has been the home of Mark Winn, grandson of Rowland Winn, 1st Baron St Oswald, and his son, George Winn-Darley.
The three-storey house is built of brick with ashlar dressing and a slate roof, with a nine-bay frontage.

St John the Baptist's Church, Acklam
St John the Baptist's Church is an Anglican church in Acklam, a village near Malton, North Yorkshire, in England.
Acklam had a church in the medieval period. It was rebuilt in 1790, as a small building with a nave, chancel, south porch, and square west tower. It had a capacity of 250 worshippers. It was again rebuilt in 1868, by J. B. and W. Atkinson of York. The church was declared redundant and demolished in 1972, following which its site was used to enlarge the burial ground.
A Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was erected in Acklam in 1794. It is a rectangular stone building, with a pantile roof. It has Gothick pointed windows, with glazing bars. Following the closure of the church, it was acquired by the Anglican church, and was rededicated as a new St John the Baptist's Church.
