Arncliffe Hall

Arncliffe Hall is a historic building in Ingleby Arncliffe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The first Arncliffe Hall was constructed in the late 16th century for William Mauleverer, facing north. From 1753 to 1754, a new hall was constructed, on the same site but facing south. It was designed by John Carr, for Thomas Mauleverer. Carr also designed a stable block to the southeast, which was altered in 1905.
