Countersett Hall

Countersett Hall is a Grade II* listed[1] historic building in Countersett, a hamlet in North Yorkshire, in England.

The house dates back to the twelfth century in parts – artefacts were discovered during renovations in the 1980s.

Richard Robinson purchased the freehold and extended the hall in 1650 – his initials are inscribed above the front door.

Robinson became the first Quaker in Wensleydale and held meetings illegally in the house.

[1] There is a local legend that Mary Queen of Scots stayed at the hall on her way to Bolton Castle.
