College Farm, Acaster Selby Acaster Selby is a small riverside village south of York and the Selby part of the name comes from a grange of Selby Abbey having been here before the dissolution. College Farm dates from before 1829 and is a fine building which is currently empty. There are two massive brick barns, one of similar date and one which appears earlier. A few hundred yards away is the site of the college, a pre-reformation school dissolved under the Chantries Act (as it also was one) and now represented by bumps in a field.

River Ouse, Acaster Selby There was once a ferry here linking to Stillingfleet, on the opposite bank. On Boxing Day 1833 the ferry sank whilst carrying Stilligfleet church choir and eleven people were drowned, mostly teenage girls and a disaster for a small village which is still remembered today. Subsequently the ferry, which took an oblique course across the river, was moved to a more direct course slightly further upstream and is now no more. The Ouse is tidal at this point and a navigation demanding some care; before the coming of railways, and indeed for many years after, it was a very busy commercial waterway.
