Rise Hall

[2] For some time between 1066 and 1071, the estate belonged to William Malet before coming into the possession of Drew de Bevrère[3] (rendered in some sources as Drogo of la Beuvriëre[2]).

However they did not retain ownership long as they sold freehold in 1646 to a Thomas Bacon and Christopher Beckwith, who were buying on behalf of Hugh Bethell.

An English Heritage report into buildings of special architectural or historic interest in Yorkshire suggested that Robert Abraham, a relation of the family, may have been the architect hired to carry out the renovation.

The house also has north and south aspects fronted identically with a slight wing of 6 feet (1.8 m) at either end and a pediment over the central doorway.

By 1884 the estate contained at least one cricket pitch, because in that year it played host to what is now considered an unusual match in that the opposing team was made up of 11 brothers – the Walgates of Aldbrough.

[7] During the Second World War the manor served as headquarters for the operation of searchlight batteries in the local area, and accommodated the officers manning them.

[9] The Hall had fallen into disrepair before being bought in March 2001 by TV host and property expert Sarah Beeny and her husband, artist Graham Swift.

[15] During the second series, the couple gave art students from Hull College the opportunity to gain experience by assisting in the design and construction of the family room.

[16] In April 2019, Beeny and Swift sold Rise Hall to Daniel and Helen Gill, owners of an events and weddings business.
