Calder bridge has two splendid (private) houses - Calder Abbey House, and Pelham House.
Calder Abbey House is attached to the ruins of Calder Abbey. Pelham House, 1774, was designed by James Paine for Edward Stanley, and first known as Ponsonby Hall. During its life, it has been an approved school for boys, and is now used as offices for the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency (NDA). It is Grade 2* listed, and Calder Abbey House is Grade 1 listed..
The village also has two churches - St Bridget's Church , and about half a mile away, in a field, is is the small but beautiful Ponsonby church. Both have Pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows by Henry Holiday, and Ponsonby also has windows by Sir Edward Burne-Jones.
There is an ancient path from Kinniside Common (Cold Fell), past Monks Bridge and Calder Abbey to Calder Bridge.
