Description
The servants' tunnels to Ingleborough Hall and the gateway are early 19th-century structures that provided access for staff to the hall and its former stables. The left-hand tunnel, dated 1833, features rubble walls with ashlar dressings, a round arch made of rock-faced voussoirs, a stringcourse, and a parapet with engaged pilasters. This tunnel is approximately 30 metres long and connects to a second tunnel, which is about 35 metres long, linked by a sunken drive that measures around 12 metres. The right-hand tunnel provided access to the service wing of Ingleborough Hall and has a blocked segmental arch with a stringcourse at the impost level and a projecting keystone, along with a stringcourse leading to the parapet. A rubble wall, approximately 70 metres long, extends south to the gateway that connects the hall to the Church of St James. The ashlar gateway features a round arch with rock-faced voussoirs, an impost band, and side pilasters, along with a stringcourse at the base of the cornice and wrought iron gates.
