Crathorne Hall

The Crathorne family first built a manor house in the village in the 14th century, but by 1808 had reconstructed it as a plan and modern building.

[1][2] The Dugdale family hosted guests including Harold Macmillan, Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and John Cleese, before selling the property in 1977.

[3] In 2004, it suffered a fire which destroyed much of the east wing, but it was repaired at a cost of £4 million and reopened the following year.

To the left is a projecting four-bay wing leading to a service block around a courtyard, with an arched carriage entrance under a pediment.

The forecourt walls are in stone and contain gates with square piers with griffin finials.
