It was originally built circa 1880 as a laundry for a visit to Londesborough Park by the Prince of Wales, who presumably had plenty of shirts and socks that required washing.

42 mAll Saints Church, Londesborough, East Riding of Yorkshire. Re-creation of a Francis Frith photograph c1960 at Link Almost nothing has changed except the addition of a street lamp and the season, so there are no overhanging leaves. The position from which the photograph was taken was adjusted very slightly to use the tree trunk on the right to hide some parked cars. Consequently, there are slightly fewer trees visible to the right of the church.

Originally built in the 12th century, evidence of earlier stonework can be seen, and modifications have taken place up to the late 20th century. In 2003 the tower was re-leaded and the parapet and pinnacles rebuilt. In 2006 the roof over the north aisle was renewed.

51 mMary's Cottage, Londesborough Seen across Low Street from the Churchyard in this estate village. Londesborough estate was bought by Lord Albert Denison in 1850. Before this, the estate had passed down through the Clifford and Boyle families. In the 17th century, Richard Boyle employed the architect Robert Hooke to build a 'Wren-style country house'. He also built new stables and gardens and made improvements to the village, including a hospital for 12 poor people of the parish this still exists ([[[1231297]]]). His great-grandson (also Richard) rebuilt Londesborough in the 1730s. The estates became neglected in the late 18th century after they came into the possession of the dukes of Devonshire. The sixth duke of Devonshire demolished the house in 1818, and built a new one in 1839. He sold this, along with the estate, in 1845 to railway entrepreneur George Hudson. Following Hudson's disgrace the estate remained in the Denison family until 1923. Since 1935 it has been owned by the Ashwin family.
