The church has several interesting features, such as the window near the chancel.

Now a private dwellinghouse that was originally a paper mill, but was converted to a corn mill in the 1810s. A windmill was incorporated between the watermill and mill house to deal with the unreliable water source. Both mills were demolished in 1940.

Quaint village with free car park on Edwins Garth (clearly signposted), the main street running towards Market Weighton.

Natural spring and restored well - information board gives a good background to the site. Lots of ribbons tied on a tree for good luck, which is very reminiscent of the tanabata festival in Japan. The spring that feeds this well also causes the trail to become flooded and boggy in winter several metres past the well (heading east away from Market Weighton).

Opened on 1 May 1865 and served the nearby village of Kiplingcotes. It was built originally for the personal use of a local landowner and MP, Lord Hotham, as an incentive for him to allow the railway to pass through his estates. The station closed after the last train ran on 27 November 1965 along with the rest of the line. The station building, platforms and signal box survive unaltered, as does the station master's house.

Maybe someone with greater knowledge of poetry than me (not difficult, I know nothing about it 😊 ) will be able to read, decipher and post an explanation here. I don't recognise the words so googled them, and the opening line "From dark to dark the bird flies through the fire-lit hall" bears an uncanny resemblance to the Venerable Bede's account of a council advising King Edwin of Northumbria whether or not they should convert to Christianity.

Maintained by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Rifle Butts Quarry was created to provide stone for the construction of the railway line adjacent to the nature reserve. The site was then used as a rifle range from the 1890s to the First World War.

Car park 300m to the west if you don't want to walk all the way from Market Weighton. Steep chalk embankment with meadow underneath. Very scenic and I saw a small flock of jet black Hebridean sheep.
