[2] It became known as "Skeldale House" after its use as the exterior of the Darrowby veterinary surgery of Siegfried Farnon and James Herriot in the original BBC television series All Creatures Great and Small.

[1] Peter Davison, who played Siegfried Farnon's younger brother and fellow vet Tristan in said television series, recalled its owners in the 1970s and 1980s: "[It was] owned by Olive Turner and her husband Charles, who welcomed us with open arms from the first day of filming.

Although we never shot any interior scenes there, it was often used for make-up and costume and, while relaxing between takes, they would make us tea and coffee and show us pictures of their children.
