Pond House, Aislaby

Pond House is a historic building in Aislaby, a village near Whitby in North Yorkshire, in England. The two-storey stone house was built between 1782 and 1789, probably by Francis Breckon. Breckon leased the house to Rebecca Boulby, who had a relationship with Breckon's son, which resulted in three children. The couple did not marry, and a court case led to the children inheriting the house, in lieu of maintenance payments. The house has a slate roof, and brick chimneystacks. It is five bays wide, with single-storey one-bay wings either side. Original features include the sash windows, and a Doric order doorcase with a fanlight above. Inside, there is a central entrance hall with curved staircase, two main reception rooms, a kitchen and a garden room, along with six bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house was Grade II* listed in 1969.

Woodlands Hall

Woodlands Hall is a historic house in Aislaby, a village near Whitby in North Yorkshire, in England. The house was built for Henry Walker Yeoman in the late 18th century. Yeoman also laid out a picturesque landscape around the house. Yeoman died in 1800, following which the house was let to tenants. In 1901, the house was inherited by five sisters in the Yeoman family. They developed the gardens, and regularly opened them to the public. They also arranged for the house to be remodelled, the work being undertaken from 1919 to 1921, to designs by Walter Brierley. This remodelling included extensions on the north side of the house. The house was Grade II* listed in 1952. In 1958, the house was sold and became St Hilda's Preparatory School. The school undertook further alterations in 1960, including the addition of a dining room. The school closed in 1988 and the building became a nursing home, but in 1999 it was converted into 14 apartments. The house is built of stone, and has two storeys and an attic. It is two bays wide and five bays long, and has a long domestic wing to the left of the main house. Inside, many original features survive, including plasterwork and doors. The main staircase is curved in an oval stairwell.
