Cattal Bridge

Cattal Bridge is a historic road bridge in Cattal, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The Roman road later known as Rudgate, connecting Tadcaster and Aldborough, crossed the River Nidd at Cattal, though it is not known whether there was a bridge or a ford. A ford was in use in the Mediaeval period, being first recorded during the reign of Henry III of England. A timber bridge was in existence by the mid-16th century, when it was recorded by John Leland. The current bridge was built at the end of the 18th century, when embankments were constructed on the river. It is 150 metres upstream from the line of the Roman road. The north arch and parapets have been extensively repaired, but it has never been strengthened, and so retains its original features better than most other bridges of similar date. The bridge underwent a £78,000 repair project in 2011, during which careful measures were taken to maintain the original character and shape of the bridge. The bridge carries Cattal Moor Lane over the River Nidd. It is built of limestone, and consists of three round arches with chamfered moulding. The central arch is 15 metres wide, and the others each span 11 metres. The bridge has triangular cutwaters, the piers rising to form refuges, and the parapet has flat coping. The bridge was made a scheduled monument in 1976, and a Grade II listed building in 1985.

St John the Baptist's Church, Hunsingore

St John the Baptist's Church is the parish church of Hunsingore, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. There was a church in Hunsingore from the mediaeval period, which in 1848 was described as "an ancient structure, with a tower". By 1867, it was in poor condition, so it was demolished, and a new church constructed on the same site. It was commissioned by John Dent, and designed by Charles Kirk. It is in the Geometric Gothic style, and was completed in 1868. The building was grade II listed in 1985. The church is built of pink sandstone with a Westmorland slate roof. It consists of a nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel with a polygonal apse, and a west steeple. The steeple has a three-stage tower and a broach spire with lucarnes. The porch has two carved faces at the ends of its hood mould, which may represent Victoria of Great Britain and John Dent. The door has decorative wrought iron hinges. Inside, original fittings include the font, pulpit, organ, reredos and lighting. The windows are of two or three lights and have tracery, the west end having stained glass by Franz Mayer of Munich, while the east end has glass by Ward and Hughes.
