The Old Manor House
Built sometime before 1688 when the owners of the manor were the Gales. One of whom became Dean of York. It was replaced by a new house in 1705 which is across the Green. It is not listed because it has been altered too many times.

Lych gate and lych stone, St Radegund's Church
Many churches have a lych gate built over the main entrance to the enclosed area round the church. The name, also spelt lich or lytch, is from the Anglo Saxon 'lich' meaning corpse. The gate marks the division between consecrated and unconsecrated ground, where the bearers sheltered with the coffin, waiting for the clergyman to lead the procession before the burial. The original lych gates had seats, a lych cross and a lych stone - a slab on which the coffin rested.

Bench Mark, St Radegund's Church
The cut mark is to be found on the east side of the church. For a view of the church Image and for further information on the bench mark http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm35834
A bench mark is an Ordnance Survey arrowhead sign found on walls, bridges, churches and specially erected triangulation pillars where the altitude above sea-level has been accurately measured by surveyors. The arrowhead points to a horizontal line above it which marks the exact altitude.
With rivets and pivots there is no datum (horizontal line) cut, the pointed-to horizontal surface defining the datum height.

Church of St Radegund, Scruton
Village church just off the green. The tower is Perpendicular, whilst the main body of the church is a Victorian rebuild. The dedication to St Radegund is most unusual as there are apparently only 5 such churches in Britain. St Radegund was the daughter of a Thuringian king, born circa AD520 and died in 587. She is associated with the foundation of a convent at Poitiers in France.
