Elslack Hall

Elslack Hall is a historic building in Elslack, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Today it has been subdivided into a farm house and cottage. The building may be the successor of a manor house which Godfrey de Altaripa was granted a licence to crenellate in 1318. Remains of a moat are visible around the site, and there are a couple of lancet windows which may have been part of the mediaeval building. The oldest parts of the current house probably date from the 16th century. It was altered in the 18th century, and then suffered a fire in the late 19th century. As a result of the damage, the left rear wing was demolished, and the building was refronted. The house was grade II* listed in 1954. It forms part of the Elslack Estate, which was put up for sale in 2016, with an asking price of £10 million. The house is built of stone, with quoins and a stone slate roof, one gable with a crocketed finial. There are two storeys, two bays, and a cross-wing on the right. On the front is a two-storey porch and a round-headed doorway with impost blocks and voussoirs. The windows have double-chamferd mullions, and on the gabled end are two six-light windows, each light arched, with hood moulds. Attached to the cross-wing is a garden wall containing two rectangular bee boles with shelves. In front of the house is a great barn, which was constructed in 1672. It is built of stone with quoins and a stone slate roof. It is rectangular, long and narrow. The openings include a doorway with a chamfered surround, a doorway with a Tudor arch, two cart entries with chamfered surrounds and elliptical heads, and vents. Over one cart entry is a dated and initialled stone. It was grade II listed in 1954. See also Grade II* listed buildings in North Yorkshire (district) Listed buildings in Elslack References
Stone Gappe

Stone Gappe is an 18th-century house in Lothersdale, North Yorkshire, England; it is a Grade II* listed building. Construction The house was constructed for William Bawdwen and completed in 1725. It is constructed of dressed stone with a hipped slate roof. Three storeys high and five bays wide, the south elevation is symmetrical about a central canted bay. Literary and musical connections By 1839 the house was owned by John Benson Sidgwick, a mill owner in nearby Skipton, and in May 1839 he engaged Charlotte Brontë to be governess for two of his children. Brontë's stay was short though and within weeks she left to return to Haworth. It is considered that Stone Gappe was the model for Gateshead Hall, the childhood home of the eponymous heroine of Jane Eyre. The house became the property of Sir John Horsfall, baronet of Hayfield and his heirs. The family let the house and one of the tenants was Dr J Black and his family. Dr Black's wife was Clare Delius, sister of the composer Frederick Delius and in her book, Frederick Delius: Memories of my Brother, there are several references to the composer's visits to the house. Youth use By the mid-1920s the property was let to the Reverend Aldous, the rector of Lothersdale, who sub-let the house to be used as a youth camp centre along the lines of those organised by the then Duke of York (later George VI). In 1931 the house became the first youth hostel opened in Yorkshire's West Riding by Youth Hostels Association (England & Wales). Despite initial popularity the use as a hostel only lasted until July 1935 due to the greater popularity of other locations. Current use The house remains in private hands and has reverted to use as a private residence.
