The Dawnay Arms After being closed for nearly two years, the Dawnay Arms reopened in September 2007 as an up-market gastro pub. It is interesting to compare this photo with two others submitted previously, as the front of the building has been tidied up with fake shutters removed and a rather unpleasant porch demolished, revealing the 1779 date over the doorway.

Former Methodist chapel, Newton on Ouse The chapel must be pre 1890 as it is mentioned in a description of the village dating from that year. Now converted into a private house.
Update- December 2019. This is not the pre 1890 chapel as that was on a different site. I am reliably informed that this building dates from 1924.

Estate cottages, Newton on Ouse One would guess that this row of cottages, with tudor style chimneys, was built as accommodation for workers on the Beningbrough estate. Another row in similar style stands across the street.  A pity that some of the original windows have been replaced by a more modern type, thus spoiling the house fronts.

Village Hall, Newton on Ouse A nice little Victorian building which was once a school, but which school?  A description of the village, dated 1890 describes two schools, one being a neat red brick building, with residence attached, in the Gothic style and erected in 1854.  This one would appear to fit the description, but there is another just around the corner [see other photo].
