Kellington Windmill
Kellington Windmill is a historic building in Kellington, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The windmill was built in about 1800, to grind corn. It originally had four floors and was powered solely by wind, but a paraffin engine was added so it could be used during calm periods, and after the First World War the sails were no longer in use. Milling ended in 1927, and the building was disused until the Second World War, when it was used as a look out post by the Home Guard. It was converted into a house, but then became derelict. For a short time it was used to grow mushrooms, but was then reconverted into a house.
The windmill was grade II listed in 1987. It is built of magnesian limestone with some rendering and brick infill. It contains doorways and casement windows, all under segmental arches. It originally had a cap, which is now missing.

Church of St Edmund King and Martyr, Kellington
The Church of St Edmund King and Martyr, Kellington, is a grade I listed 12th century church in the village of Kellington, North Yorkshire, England. Excavations at the site have revealed the 14th century tomb related to the Knights Templar, and in the 1990s, the foundations of the church were underpinned because of possible subsidence effects from the nearby Kellingley Colliery.
Its separation from the village upon elevated land, makes it a local landmark and it has been commented upon throughout history. A stone with Medieval carvings upon it was found in the church and has given rise to a legend attached to it about a shepherd fighting a snake. The Kellington Serpent-Stone is one of the attractions of the church.
