Orchard, Lotherton Hall Lotherton was a medieval village near Aberford, of which only the chapel remains. The chapel now stands adjacent to Lotherton Hall, the main buildings of which date from the 18th and 19th centuries. 

The Gascoignes, a noble family whose seat was at nearby Parlington before it was demolished in the early 20th century, later lived at Lotherton Hall which they had acquired in 1825.  The last of the line, Sir Alvary Gascoigne, presented the Hall and grounds to the City of Leeds in 1968. An exhibition in the hall highlights the family connection with Florence Nightingale.

The hall and surrounding estate, which includes a large aviary, deer park and formal gardens, are listed grade 2 (list entry 1001223), and open to the public for a fee. The chapel, restored in the 20th century, is listed grade 2* (1200687).

Old milestone Another of the West Riding CC milestones at the northern end of Aberford on main Street near to Greystones Park.   Even though it is 'Listed'(II 1135617) and is in a village it is very neglected.  Many of the metal attachments for the original 615 WRCC milestones were cast at the Brayshaw & Booth Foundry in Liversedge and that is usually cast on the bevel.   However the remaining posts on this route between Ferrybridge and Boroughbridge, the old A1, have a plain bevel so it is not known where they were cast.

A remnant of the old A1 This dead end road at the northern end of Aberford village marks a previous line of the A1, which passed through the village centre until 1963 when the by-pass was constructed. This in turn has been widened and upgraded to a six lane motorway [8 lanes in places past the village] which is the A1(M).
