Monk Fryston: what to know before moving day
The A63 is Main Street in the village, so many homes sit on or just off the main Leeds to Selby road. St Wilfrid's Church is Grade I, Monk Fryston Hall is Grade II*, and the parish has 15 listed buildings in all. The Crown Inn dates back to the 1600s, and the Village Stores, which holds the post office, and the surgery are on the map. The hall stands in 66 acres of parkland and was a hotel until the business went into administration in 2022.
Stone for Selby Abbey is said to have come from a quarry in the middle of the village, opposite the old school. The quarry was filled for housing next to the new school, built on the old school field in 1998 to 1999, and the old school building became homes. Newer streets include Abbeystone Way, Priory Park Close, Deer Park Court and Ingthorpe Way, alongside older lanes such as Lumby Lane, Water Lane and Church Lane.
