Cononley Hall

Cononley Hall is a historic building in Cononley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Cononley Hall was first recorded in the 1540s, at which point it appears to have been a farmhouse. In about 1600, it was rebuilt as a manor house, part of which survives. By 1680, it was the home of the Swire family. In about 1770, the building was partly demolished and a large new extension was constructed. In the early 19th century, the Swires let out the hall, which served for periods as a boarding school. The Swire family sold the hall in 1837, and the building had a variety of owners until 1911, when it was divided into three properties. It has since been recombined, and operates as a bed and breakfast. It has been Grade II listed since 1954. The house is built of stone with quoins and stone slate roofs. The original part has coped gables and kneelers. It has three storeys, and the windows have chamfered surrounds and hood moulds. Most are replacements, but two windows have transoms. The later part has a hipped roof, a modillion cornice, three storeys and three bays. The windows are sashes in architraves. There is a Tuscan doorcase with engaged columns, a pediment and an arched doorway. The return has five bays, the central window of the middle floor with a pediment on consoles. In the wall is a re-set initialled and dated lintel. Inside, there is an early fireplace, and a staircase contemporary with the late-18th century extension.

St John's Church, Cononley

St John's Church is the parish church of Cononley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A National School was opened in Cononley in 1846, and it was also used to hold Anglican church services. From 1854, the curate J. D. Wawn was based in the village, and he fundraised for the construction of a church in the village. It was designed by F. H. Pownall and was completed in 1864, at a cost of £1,200. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Ripon on the day of the Feast of Saint James. It was initially a chapel of ease to St Andrew's Church, Kildwick, but was given its own parish in 1871. The church was damaged by a major fire on 25 November 1946, in which most of the roof was destroyed, along with the vestry, but the windows, altar and war memorial survived. The church was described on completion as "plan and substantial". It is in the Geometrical Gothic style and contains a continuous nave and chancel. There is a bellcote at the west end, and a gilded cross at the east end. A chancel screen was installed in 1893 by Wawn's widow, in his memory.
