Skeldergate House Hotel

Skeldergate House Hotel is a Grade II* listed building[1] in the Bishophill area of central York, in England.

In 1777, he became Sheriff of York, and it is believed that this inspired him to commission John Carr to design him a new house, large enough to entertain groups.

Dodsworth died in 1796, and the house was let to the merchant Thomas Smith, who purchased it in 1807, then sold it to William Cooper in 1825, for £900.

In the property, he hosted guests including Charlie Chaplin, Benjamin Britten and Cleo Laine.

Inside, most of the original fittings of the left-hand ground floor room survive, along with a late-19th century fireplace.
