Bowcliffe Hall

The building is constructed of ashlar limestone, under a shallow pitched slate roof to a rectangular double pile floor plan.

The entrusted estate was purchased by George Lane Fox, whose own house, the neighbouring Bramham Park, had been severely fire damaged in 1828.

As an aviation pioneer, Blackburn built his first monoplane in 1909, making him the first Yorkshire-man to design and produce a powered flying aircraft.

[3] In 1955, Robert Blackburn died, and following his death the house was sold to the Hargreaves fuel company in May 1956 for office use, passing into the ownership of the Bayford Group in 1988.

Over recent years, Bowcliffe Hall has undergone extensive refurbishment into office space and a corporate and private events venue.
