All Saints' Church, Appleton Roebuck

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Appleton Roebuck, a village south-west of York, in England. Until 1868, Appleton Roebuck was in the parish of Bolton Percy. That year, a church was constructed in the village, designed by John Bownas and William Atkinson. In 1875, the parish was merged with that of neighbouring Acaster Selby, though All Saints remained the parish church. The church was grade II listed in 1978. The church is built in sandstone, with red brick in the interior, and it has a tile roof. It consists of a four-bay nave with a south porch, and a two-bay chancel with a north vestry. At the west end is a twin bellcote below which is a clock face. Most of the windows have two lights, while the east window has three, and they are in the Geometrical style. The nave has a higher roof than the chancel. Inside, there is a hammerbeam roof, and the chancel arch is supported on black marble piers. One stained glass window on the south side of the nave is by Charles Eamer Kempe.

The Old Windmill, Appleton Roebuck

The Old Windmill is a disused windmill in Appleton Roebuck, a village south-west of York in England. The four-storey tower windmill was constructed in about 1820, to grind corn. It is built of brick and is circular, tapering as it rises. It has two arched entrances, with multiple arched windows above. The mill's sails were dismantled in the 1930s, and its machinery was removed during World War II. The mill fell into ruin, losing its roof and many internal features. Despite this, it was Grade II listed in 1987. The mill was purchased by the Houseman family in 1964, along with the surrounding land. In 2018, the family sold the mill for £200,000, having obtained outline planning permission for its conversion into a house. Ian Hazard designed the conversion, which includes three single-storey outbuildings, providing additional living space. The mill is visible from the East Coast Mainline, and from its top floor, there is a view of York Minster.
