Discover the house
Hundreds of years ago this fascinating West Yorkshire manor was a family home. Thanks to the care of the Brigg brothers of Keighley, this hidden gem was saved from demolition and passed to the National Trust.
It now offers a friendly Yorkshire welcome to all who pass through its 400 year old doors, as well as a glimpse into the past lives of the people who once called this place home.
The house continues to surprise us as we unravel its stories. Take a stroll through the corridors and discover some of its secrets. Our friendly volunteers can share its stories and bring the house to life – and you can even get involved with some hands-on activities too.
To help us look after the historic building, only small handbags can be taken around the house, and we ask that prams are left at the entrance as spaces inside are quite tight!
