Marske Hall is a Grade II* listed country house in Marske, North Yorkshire, England.[1]
Markse Hall was bought in 1596 by the then Archbishop of York, Matthew Hutton.[2] Initial work on the hall was started by Matthew's son, Timothy, and after a remodelling in the 1730s, a stable block was added in 1750 by John Hutton II, the son of the former member of parliament for Richmond bearing the same name, whose racehorse Marske was best known for siring the undefeated Eclipse. The ornamental gardens were added in 1836. The grounds, as well as the stables, remain separated from the hall by a road providing access to the village.[3]
During the Second World War, the hall was used to house pupils from Scarborough College.[4] In the 1960s, the estate was sold to local builder, George Shaw, and converted into 10 apartments; however, the mansion was put on the market in 2012 for the sum of £2.5 million.[2] In 2020, proposals were made to convert the grade II listed[5] building into 20 holiday lets.[6]
