Historic Interest
Built around 1770-72 as a residence for Robert Darcy, the Earl of Holderness, replacing a previous hall that was burned down. Designed by the architect John Carr, it was never actually occupied by the Earl, being sold on completion to Harry Verelst. His family owned it until 1928, when it was bought by steelworks owner Ronald Matthews. In the 1940's it was bought by West Riding County Council and converted into a mental institute; Aughton Court. This closed in 1984 and the building was converted into a luxury hotel.
