Here are the answers to this week's Sunday Picture Quiz. How well did you do?

1. Bath house, RHS Harlow Carr

The bath house at RHS Harlow Carr was one of the first structures to be built in this corner of Harrogate. 

Sulphur springs were discovered here in the 18th century, but it was only in 1844 that the estate owner, Henry Wright, built the bath house and a hotel to take advantage of Harrogate's growing spa trade.

The bath house was converted in 1958 to contain a library and study centre, but more recently it has been used as an exhibition space for arts and crafts.

The Northern Horticultural Society opened Harlow Carr Botanical Gardens in 1950, having chosen the spot precisely because it was so unpromising. The aim was to see what could be achieved on soggy, shady ground in a northern climate.

Henry Wright's hotel later became the Harrogate Arms and for many years it was run separately from the gardens. But in recent years the Royal Horticultural Society, which now owns the gardens, has bought the building, refurbished it, and brought it into the gardens once more.

2. Cabmen's Shelter, Ripon

The Cabmen's Shelter in Ripon's Market Place built in 1911 for use by cabmen waiting for customers.

Built by Boulton & Paul of Norwich, it was paid for by a legacy of £200 from Sarah Carter, a former Mayor's daughter.

In 1982, Cllr R Simpson acquired the shelter and passed it on to Ripon Civic Society. But by then it was is a state of serious disrepair, and has since been extensively restored twice, the last time in 2021. 

In 1999, Ripon Civic Society gave it back to Ripon City Council.

3. Nidd Aqueduct, Wharfedale

This is not actually in the Harrogate district, but it does carry water from the Harrogate district.

In fact, it carries 95,000 cubic metres (21 million gallons) of water every day from Angram and Scar House reservoirs in upper Nidderdale to Bradford.

This bridge looks sturdy enough to take a road, but it only carries water and walkers across the River Wharfe, upstream of Bolton Abbey.

4. Markenfield Hall

Markenfield Hall, just south of Ripon, is one of the most intact 14th-century moated manor houses in the country.

While most grand houses of its vintage were added to, updated and often completely rebuilt, Markenfield Hall was for many years owned by people who didn't live there, so they rented it out as a farmhouse and as smaller dwellings and it never received the attention other country seats did. By the 1880s, the chapel was even used to store grain.

But a programme of restoration finally started in 1980 and was largely completed by 2008, although small projects are ongoing.

In 1569, Thomas de Markenfield was involved in the pro-Catholic Rising of the North, which was crushed by forces loyal to Queen Elizabeth I. In the aftermath, 200 rebels were hanged just outside Ripon, at the place known ever since as Gallows Hill.
