Battle of Coronel
Hartforth Hall is a Grade II* listed country house. It was built in 1744 for William Cradock of Gilling, who had bought the manor of Hartforth in 1720. Additions were made in 1792 and c. 1900. Rear Admiral Christopher Cradock, who died at the Battle of Coronel, was born at Hartforth in 1862. The property was operated as a hotel and wedding venue from 1986 to 2017, but the hotel is now permanently closed.
