Middle Parks Farmhouse
Middle Parks Farm is a farm near North Stainley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The farm lies on land which formed part of Ripon Park. The deer park had three hunting lodges, with Horseman's Lodge being the most important. It was built in about 1400, and extended in the 16th century, but was in ruins by 1649. That year, the park was enclosed to produce three farms, and Horseman's Lodge was converted into Middle Parks Farmhouse. The building was encased in brick in two stages, in the early 18th century and mid 19th century, and it was extended and altered in the 20th century. The farmhouse was grade II* listed in 1982.

Quoin (architecture)
Quoins ( or ) are masonry blocks at the corner of a wall. Some are structural, providing strength for a wall made with inferior stone or rubble, while others merely add aesthetic detail to a corner. According to one 19th-century encyclopedia, these imply strength, permanence, and expense, all reinforcing the onlooker's sense of a structure's presence. Stone quoins are used on stone or brick buildings. Brick quoins may appear on brick buildings, extending from the facing brickwork in such a way as to give the appearance of generally uniformly cut ashlar blocks of stone larger than the bricks.
