Old Vicarage, Church Fenton
The Old Vicarage is a historic building in Church Fenton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
A vicarage was first endowed in Church Fenton in 1240. The current building probably originated as a 14th-century hall, but in the mid 16th century it was described as being in "ruynes and dikayes", and was partly rebuilt, a cross-wing at the west end replacing a former service wing and solar. From the mid 18th century, it was considered unsuitable for a vicar to inhabit, and so it was leased to other occupiers. A new vicarage was finally built in 1866, the old vicarage being sold and converted into three cottages. In 1923, it was converted back into a single house. It was grade II listed in 1967. In 1982, it was restored, with the dilapidated east end being entirely rebuilt, the west end extended to re-occupy its 16th century footprint, and the hall opened up to the roof.
The house has a timber framed core, encased in magnesian limestone and brick, partly rendered, and has a pantile roof with a lower row of stone slates. There is a single tall storey, and a T-shaped plan, with a main range of four bays, and a later rear range. The porch has a tiled roof, and the windows are a mix of casements and horizontally-sliding sashes. Inside, there is much exposed timber framing. The cross-wing has an upper storey, which includes a 16th-century brick fireplace.

Sherburn-in-Elmet railway station
Sherburn-in-Elmet railway station serves the town of Sherburn in Elmet in North Yorkshire, England. The station is located approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from the town centre.
The railway through Sherburn-in-Elmet was opened in 1840 by the York and North Midland Railway. The station was closed on 13 September 1965 but reopened in 1984 by British Rail with local authority support.
Sherburn-in-Elmet is on both the Dearne Valley Line and the Hull-York Line towards Selby. Trains to/from the latter use the curve south of the station to the former Leeds and Selby Railway at Gascoigne Wood Junction, which was opened just a few months after the main Y&NMR route. This line became the main rail route between Hull and York after the route via Market Weighton and Beverley fell victim to the Beeching Axe in November 1965, though many of its trains were in turn diverted via the newly constructed north curve at Hambleton and the East Coast Main Line Selby Deviation when this opened in 1983. Since the mid-1990s though, several Hull - York trains have reverted to the old route to provide Sherburn with commuter links to and from York in the wake of cutbacks to the Dearne Valley line timetable (this had seven trains each way when the station reopened in 1984, but now has only three - see below) and avoid the increasingly busy ECML. Since the winter 2023 timetable change, a small number of TransPennine Express services between York, Castleford and Manchester Piccadilly pass through the station each day apart from Sundays (the first such timetabled trains since January 1970). However, they do not stop here.
