Bolton Hall is a country house near Preston-under-Scar, Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England, in Wensleydale, some 3 miles (5 km) west of Leyburn.
[3] It is built in three storeys of roughcast brick with ashlar dressing and a hipped slate roof.
The sixth Duke died without a male heir in 1794 and the dukedom became extinct, the Bolton estates devolving on his brother's natural daughter Jean Browne-Powlett.
She married Thomas Orde, who in 1795 assumed the additional surname of Powlett and was a Tory politician.
[6] The estate then passed down to Harry Algar Nigel Orde-Powlett, 8th Baron Bolton, who inherited on his father's death.
