Scout Hall

[1] Mitchell was castigated by the preacher Oliver Heywood for his dissolute way of life, spending his money on horse racing and drink.

The house is a 'calendar' building, supposedly of 12 bays, with 52 doors and 365 panes of glass.

It is Grade II* listed[2] but is on the English Heritage 'buildings at risk' register.

[3] The standing Scout Hall was built on the site of several earlier houses of the same name, the ancestral homes of the Stancliff(e), Otes, Savile and Waterhouse families[4][failed verification] (Mitchell's wife was a Stancliff(e)).

[6] In 2010 it was put on the market for £350,000,[7] and later withdrawn, but has reputedly been sold[1] to someone who intends to restore it.
