Burton Agnes Hall

Burton Agnes Hall

Burton Agnes Hall is a Jacobean manor house in the village of Burton Agnes, near Driffield in Yorkshire. It was built by Sir Henry Griffith in 1601-10 to designs attributed to Robert Smythson. [Nikolaus Pevsner & David Neave, (1972, 2nd Ed. 1995), "Yorkshire: York and the East Riding:" The Buildings of England, ISBN 0-300-09593-7, p 367.] There is an older Norman Manor House, originally built in 1173 on an adjacent site; both buildings are now Grade I listed buildings.

The Hall contains a number of fine seventeenth century plaster ceilings and chimneypieces. The ceiling of the Long Gallerey was restored in two stages by Francis Johnson in 1951 and 1974.

Today, the estate is managed by Hon Elizabeth Susan Whitelaw, daughter of the 1st Viscount Whitelaw and her son Simon.

A Hall Class railway engine was named Burton Agnes Hall, and is preserved.
