Camp Hill House
Camp Hill House is a historic building in Carthorpe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. A country house on the site was first recorded in 1741, when it was known as "Badger Hall". At the time, the land was owned by James Hoyland, head gardener at Castle Howard, and he may have been responsible for designing the grounds. In the 1790s, it was renamed "Camp Hill", and in 1799 it was purchased by William Rookes Leeds Serjeantson. He had the house rebuilt in about 1820, at a cost of £12,000. It was Grade II listed in 1998. The grounds are now used for glamping.

Pilaster
In architecture, a pilaster is both a load-bearing section of thickened wall or column integrated into a wall, and a purely decorative element in classical architecture which gives the appearance of a supporting column and articulates an extent of wall. As an ornament it consists of a flat surface raised from the main wall surface, usually treated as though it were a column, with a capital at the top, plinth (base) at the bottom, and the various other column elements. In contrast to a Classical pilaster, an engaged column or buttress can support the structure of a wall and roof above.
