St Nicholas' Church, Husthwaite

St Nicholas' Church is an Anglican church in Husthwaite, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the 12th century, from which period the nave and chancel survive. The tower was added in the 15th century, and the south doorway was replaced in 1683. A porch was added in 1878, and the church was restored in 1896, the work including replacing the south nave windows. The church was grade II* listed in 1960. The church is built of sandstone with lead roofs, and consists of a nave, a south porch, a chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a plinth, diagonal buttresses, a three-light west window with a four-centred arch, a string course, two-light bell openings, and a weathervane on the roof. The porch is gabled, and has a triangular-headed doorway with a hood mould. The inner doorway is round-arched with three orders, and spiral capitals and shafts. Inside, there are 17th-century box pews, and an altar rail, pulpit and font cover of similar date. There is a 13th-century lead coffin cross and an early piscina, choir stalls of reused 17th-century woodwork, and a couple of 18th-century wall monuments.

Husthwaite Gate railway station

Husthwaite Gate railway station is a disused railway station in North Yorkshire, England. It served the nearby village of Husthwaite. When the Thirsk and Malton Line was completed in 1853, there was originally no station near Husthwaite. However, a single platform on the north side of the single line was provided by 1856, east of the crossing with the minor road from Husthwaite to Carlton Husthwaite, known as Elphin Bridge Lane. A stationmaster's house, incorporating the ticket office, was built on the opposite side of the crossing. A goods siding in front of the stationmaster's house was built at the cost of Sir George Wombwell, a local landowner. In 1872, it was taken into public use and Wombwell's outlay was refunded. In 1880, a 200-yard (180 m) tramway was built to connect the goods siding to Angram Wood, north east of the station. This was used to forward timber from Angram to Helmsley for processing. The gauge of the tramway is unknown. In 1856, a single train plied the route between Pilmoor and Malton three times daily. This had risen to four trains a day by 1895. In 1906, services on the line amounted to six trains each way, five of which went south to York and one which ran north to Pilmoor and offered a connecting service via the Pilmoor, Boroughbridge and Knaresborough Railway to Harrogate. The station was closed to passengers in January 1953, but the line was still used by long-distance passenger traffic and excursions. It remained as a goods station but became an unstaffed delivery siding from October 1963. The station was closed in August 1964, having latterly been serviced with trains only from the east. An accident in March 1963 on the East Coast Main Line damaged Sessay Wood Junction and it was never repaired. The line was closed in 1964, and the track pulled up in the following year. A brick course of the platform remains. The stationmaster's house is a private dwelling, and the station sidings area is now a campsite.
