The Bridge House Hotel is a former hotel in Catterick Bridge, a village in North Yorkshire in England.

The building was constructed as a coaching inn, at the southern end of Catterick Bridge, in the 17th century. It was originally named the "George and Dragon", and succeeded an earlier building, named by John Leland in the 16th century. The building was altered and extended in the late 18th century. In the late 19th century, it was converted into a private house, but in the 20th century was converted back into a hotel, the "Bridge House Hotel", also spending some time as the "Catterick Bridge Hotel". [1] It was undergoing renovations in 2014, when it was badly damaged in a fire. It was then further damaged by vandals, and was sold in both 2022 and 2023. [2] In 2024, plans were submitted to demolish the worst-affected parts of the building, at the rear, and mostly dating from the 20th century, restore the remainder, convert it into apartments, and build additional housing on the rest of the site. [3]

The building is roughcast and has pantile roofs with stone copings and shaped kneelers, and there are two storeys. The central part has a U-shaped plan, with a range of two bays and projecting gabled wings with attics, and there are later added ranges. In the middle is a doorway with pilasters and a segmental pediment containing a coat of arms, and the windows are sashes. In the right range is a semicircular-headed porch and a canted bay window, and in the left range are oriel windows. It has been Grade II listed since 1977. [1]

Hangleton Manor Inn, the adjoining Old Manor House and associated buildings form a bar and restaurant complex in Hangleton, an ancient village which is part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. The manor house is the oldest secular building in the Hove part of the city; some 15th-century features remain, and there has been little change since the High Sheriff of Sussex rebuilt it in the mid-16th century. Local folklore asserts that a 17th-century dovecote in the grounds has been haunted since a monk placed a curse on it. The buildings that comprise the inn were acquired by Hangleton Manor Ltd in 1968, and converted to an inn under the Whitbread banner. The brewery company Hall & Woodhouse have owned and operated it since 2005. English Heritage has listed the complex at Grade II* for its architectural and historical importance, and the dovecote is listed separately at Grade II.

Moulsecoomb Place is a large 18th-century house on Lewes Road in the Moulsecoomb area of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. Originally a farmhouse based in an agricultural area in the parish of Patcham, north of Brighton, it was bought and extensively remodelled in 1790 for a long-established local family. It was their seat for over 100 years, but the Neoclassical-style mansion and its grounds were bought by the local council in the interwar period when Moulsecoomb was transformed into a major council estate. Subsequent uses have varied, and Moulsecoomb Place later became part of the University of Brighton's range of buildings. Student housing has been built to the rear; but much of the grounds, the house itself and a much older cottage and barn attached to the rear have been preserved. The house is a Grade II Listed building.
