Ingleborough Hall

Last updated

Ingleborough Hall is a historic building in Clapham, North Yorkshire, a village in England.

The house was built in about 1814 for James Farrer, to a design by William Atkinson. [1] In 1894, one of James Farrer's descendents, Reginald Farrer, created a rock garden in the grounds, which he continued to work on until his death in 1920. [2] The house was grade II* listed in 1958. [1] It was later purchased by Bradford City Council, which ran it as an outdoor activity centre, mostly used for school trips. In 2024, the council proposed selling off the building, which it claimed required expensive maintenance. [3]

The house is built of stone with sill bands and a hipped slate roof, and has two storeys. The south garden front has seven bays, the central three bays forming a two-storey domed bow window, with four giant engaged Greek Doric columns and an entablature, and it contains three French windows. The west entrance front has three bays, and has a massive portico of engaged Doric columns in antis, and a projecting entablature with triglyphs, metopes, and a cornice with guttae. The ground floor windows in both fronts are sashes, and in the upper floor they are casements. Inside, the main staircase is original, and moulded cornices survive in the main ground floor rooms.
