Thirkleby Hall

The manor of Thirkleby was acquired in 1576 by William Frankland, a wealthy London merchant.

[1] His son Sir Thomas Frankland, 6th Baronet commissioned James Wyatt to build a new house, stables and triumphal arch in classical style; it was completed in 1790.

[2] The 6th Baronet's son, Sir Robert Frankland-Russell, 7th Baronet, had no son and following his death in 1849, the estate passed to his cousin's third daughter who had married Sir William Payne-Gallwey, 2nd Baronet two years earlier.

[3] (The baronetcy passed to his cousin Frederick William Frankland.)

A holiday caravan park has been built to the east of it.
