NOTES: The original fortified manor house dating from the 1570s was significantly remodelled internally and wings added at the beginning of the 18th century in the style of Vanbrugh, probably by William Thornton of York. The house was acquired by Ampleforth Abbey in 1929 and became Ampleforth Preparatory School. The carved screens and surround were dismantled in 1931 and subsequently erected at Bowes Museum.

NOTES: The church was designed by Robert Mylne and completed in 1802. The furnishings were installed in 1898 and designed by Charles & Edward MacLaren.

NOTES: Worksop Manor was built for George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury.

NOTES: The original cathedral, built in Romanesque style in 1152, was destroyed by fire caused by lightning in 1218. Reconstruction began in 1220 and the nave was completed in 1245. The rebuilding of the choir began c.1238 and was completed before 1269, and by 1288 only the tops of the towers remained incomplete. The south tower was completed in 1366 while the north tower was completed in 1402. It was restored by Viollet-le-Duc in the 1850s.
