Armathwaite Hall

Armathwaite Hall is a luxury hotel and spa adjacent to Bassenthwaite Lake, in Cumbria. History The present hall dates back to circa 1500; it was acquired by the Highmore family in 1540, by James Spedding (squire to Lord Egremont) in 1748 and then by Sir Frederick Fletcher-Vane (who had the courtyard and chapel added) in 1796. Ownership then passed to John Boustead (who owned coffee plantations in Ceylon and who had the hall extensively enlarged) in 1850. It then passed to Thomas Hartley (a local mine owner who had the hall extended to the designs of Charles John Ferguson) in 1880, to the Wivell family (owners of the Keswick Hotel) in 1926. When under the control of the Wivell family, especially Joseph Banks Wivell's widow, Mary Johnson Wivell, it received attention and praise in Florence White's Where Shall We Eat or Put Up? In England, Wales, and Scotland (1936). "Armathwaite Hall is an old country mansion, carried on as a country house furnished with every comfort and luxury" for travellers. The Wivell family also owned the Keswick Station Hotel in nearby Keswick. It was acquired by the Graves family (the current owners) in 1976. It is now a hotel. See also Hugh Boustead References
Askham Hall

Askham Hall is a country house near Askham in Cumbria. It is a Grade I listed building. History A peel tower was built on the site during the 14th century. It passed into the hands of the Sandford family and in 1575 Thomas Sandford had it substantially enlarged. In 1730, with the death of William Sandford without male issue, it was inherited by his grandson, William Tatham. Tatham died childless in 1775, when the house was sold to Edward Bolton, a Preston lawyer. When he died childless in 1803, it was inherited by his great nephew, the infant Edward Bolton King, whose trustees sold it to William Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale in 1815. It became a rectory in 1828 and then became a residence of the Lowther family in the 1830s. The 7th Earl of Lonsdale used it as his home after Lowther Castle was dismantled and closed in 1937. Askham Hall became a Grade I listed house in 1968. Following the death of the 7th Earl in May 2006 the house has been owned by Caroline, Countess of Lonsdale. In 2012 the Countess of Lonsdale and her children, Charles Lowther and Marie-Louisa Raeburn, arranged the conversion of Askham Hall into a boutique hotel.

Austwick Hall

Austwick Hall is an historic manor house situated above the village of Austwick in North Yorkshire, England. The house is a Grade II listed building and contains a collection of furniture, paintings and ethnographic art. The gardens and woodland also contain a collection of contemporary sculptures. Austwick Hall is open to the public from the beginning of April to the end of October and takes guests for bed and breakfast throughout the year. History It is claimed by some historians that the hall was originally a pele tower dating from the 12th century. Although the manor is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, the first record of the hall is not until 1551, when it was purchased by Sir John Yorke from the Duke of Suffolk. The hall was later sold to John Ingleby, a relative of the Yorke family. It has been suggested that the hall was rebuilt at this point, as three of the fireplaces and west chimney stacks date from the late 16th century. The Ingleby family owned the hall for the next two hundred years. The most notable member of the family was Sir Charles Ingleby. Having trained as a barrister, he was appointed a judge and knighted by James II. In later years he retired to Austwick Hall and was buried in the parish church at Clapham. In the early 19th century the hall passed to William King, who was responsible for re-modelling the house. The mullioned windows were blocked up and replaced by larger sash-windows, the roof level was raised and the grand central staircase was installed. In 1829 the hall was sold due to the bankruptcy of William King's son, John, and was bought by Thomas Clapham of Giggleswick. The Clapham family lived at Austwick Hall until 1928 and were responsible for planting the woodland and developing the gardens. Present house and gardens The present owners moved to the hall in 1999 and have been responsible for developing the house with its art collection. A snowdrop walk has also been created, which contains over 50 different varieties of Galanthus. The woodland also contains a collection of contemporary sculptures in a variety of media.

Berry Head House

Berry Head House (now used as the Berry Head Hotel) is a large detached house in Brixham, England. It is listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England. History The building was originally built in 1809 by the Board of Ordinance as a military hospital in support of the three Napoleonic war forts on Berry Head. Later it became the home of the hymnist and poet Henry Francis Lyte who turned the building into a country house and bought the surrounding lands. Library In the ground of the property, Lyte wrote the words to the Hymn "Abide with Me" and "Praise, my soul, the King of heaven". Lyte built up a library in the house which was described as "one of the most valuable libraries in the Southwest of England". The library took 17 days of auctions to sell in London. Ownership The building was also the home to the photographer Farnham Maxwell-Lyte and was linked to Sir Henry Churchill Maxwell-Lyte. Evelyn George Martin, a famous sailor, writer and cricketer, was a guest of the Lyte family, and lived at Berry Head between his school terms at Eton College. A plaque was unveiled in May 2013 to commemorate Martin's time spent at the house. The house remained with Lyte's descendants until 1949 when it was turned into the Berry Head Hotel. The house was sold by James Arthur Palmes, only surviving son of Arthur Lindsay Palmes and Alice Massingberd Maxwell Hogg (granddaughter of HF Lyte) but other parts of the estate were sold off later, including the Berry Head Forts and Headland. Berry Head Farmhouse was sold by the family in the 1990s. Hotel The hotel is currently run by a company called the Berry Head Hotel Limited and owned by the Bence Family. References

Chain Gate, Wells

The Chain Gate in Wells, Somerset, England, is an entrance gateway adjacent to the north side of Wells Cathedral, controlling access from St Andrew Street to the Cathedral Green within the Liberty of St Andrew. It is a Grade I listed building. It was built around 1460 to link the cathedral to Vicars' Close. History The Chain Gate was built around 1460 for Bishop Thomas Beckington, to provide easy access to and from the cathedral and Vicars' Close which had been built for the Vicars Choral. The Chain Gate enabled the vicars to enter the cathedral for services or meetings in the chapter house without entering the public realm or cope with inclement weather. An undated sketch by Henry Edridge (1768–1821) shows the Chain Gate in the late 18th or early 19th century, with a much taller wall than exists today alongside the road approaching the gate. Architecture The Chain Gate is a two-storey building of Doulting stone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. The lower level comprises a wagon gate flanked on both sides by pedestrian gates. The upper level provides a passageway between the Chapter House of the cathedral and Vicars' Close. It is supported by three arches, one for carts (now cars) and two for pedestrians. There is a slight bend within the passageway as the entrance to the cathedral, via the approach staircase past the Chapter House, and that in Vicars Hall were not exactly opposite each other. It is topped by a battlemented parapet. In the walls are niches with statues of saints. It also shows the arms of Bishop Beckington on a shield. References
