All Saints Church, Mappleton ERYC added to Places of Worship in Yorkshire and the Humber by ximi on 24/07/2022

It is thought that there has been a Church at Mappleton since 1086. All Saints was largely re-built in 1855-56. Inside can be viewed the tomb(s) of the Brough family who lived at nearby Rolston Hall.
Parking is available directly outside the church, or if you cross over the main Hornsea road, there is a council carpark by the slipway to the beach. Both get very busy in the summer and good weather.
TOAL from the public footpath outside (with a sub 250g aircraft, or from within the churchyard (with permission)
Mappleton beach itself is a great place to fly (https://greyarro.ws/t/mappelton-beach-added-to-coastal-scenery-in-yorkshire-and-the-humber/25258).
If you turn right at the bottom of the slipway and head south along the beach, you can find various fossils amongst the pebble (mainly Gryphaea arcuata (Devils toenails), ammonites & belemnites. If you are lucky, you may find fossilised coral or sea urchins).
WARNING: The fossil beach was also used as a bombing target for RAF Cowden .. so if you see anything metallic, with fins .. avoid and let the authorities know (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-53692099)

Kiplin Hall, Hambleton (By D0c.Col)

Kiplin Hall is a remarkable 17th-century house tucked into the Vale of Mowbray in North Yorkshire. This quiet Jacobean gem, was built in the 1620s for George Calvert, the man who later founded the American colony of Maryland. Kiplin Hall has passed through several families and survived centuries of change. Inside, we explored its unique architecture, decorated plaster ceilings, Victorian interiors, historic library, and the preserved wartime kitchen from the RAF years.

It was saved from ruin when its final owner, Bridget Talbot, setup a Trust for its upkeep and development in 1971.

Whether you're a fan of English country houses, local history, architecture, or just a great walk, don't overlook one of Yorkshire’s most fabulous historic estates.

The carpark is free and the cost of entry to the house was reasonable at the time of my visit. It is pretty much run by volunteers, who were all knowledgeable and approachable. I was able to film freely inside the house and outside, TOAL outside of the ornate iron gates that lead to an avenue of trees into the distance. There is plenty of places to TOAL on the lakeside too. I was wasn't approached by anyone during my flight and was in plain sight all the time.

The hall is well sign posted so you should have no problems finding it.
