Bowcliffe Farm House
Two aerial views, onet taken when the A1 went past it (top) and the other
after the by-pass was built. The castellated building was originally The Fox
Inn but has not been an inn in living memory. It was mentioned in an 1867
Trade Directory but not the 1901 census.

Bramham Windmill
Erected towards the end of the seventeenth century, it stands on a circular
mound and is built in magnesian limestone. On the south side is a stone
arch, leading to a bricked up doorway, probably the entrance to a ground
floor storage area or to allow loading of carts under cover. The sails were
lost in a storm in 1829, so that corn could no longer be ground. However the
machinery remained until after 1920. In 1927 the windmill was lined with
concrete and used first by Wetherby Rural Council and later by the Claro
Water Board, as a water tower to pump water to the top of the village.
