Ingleborough Hall

Ingleborough Hall is a former country house, now serving as an outdoor education centre, built around 1814 by William Atkinson for James Farrer. The building is constructed of ashlar with a slate roof. The south block features a central staircase plan, while the north block contains service rooms that were originally arranged around an open courtyard, which has since been enclosed to create a dining room. The architectural style is Greek revival.

The west entrance front is two storeys high and has three bays. The entrance is marked by a large portico supported by engaged Doric columns in antis. The entablature projects forward and includes triglyphs, metopes, and a cornice with guttae. The entrance features tall double-leaf doors with margin pane glazing, except for a small unglazed panel at the base. Below the flanking ground-floor windows are recessed panels, and the windows themselves are sashes without glazing bars. There is a sill band on the upper floor, which has 20th-century casements. The hipped roof has two parallel ridge stacks.

The south garden front is also two storeys and has seven bays. A central two-storey bow of three bays is supported by four engaged Doric columns and topped with an entablature and a lead dome. The ground floor, which was formerly the drawing room, has three French windows with moulded surrounds and ears. Four ground floor windows are sashes without glazing bars, and there is an upper floor sill band with seven upper floor windows featuring 20th-century casements. The hipped roof again has two parallel ridge stacks.

Inside, the entrance hall is notable for its four Greek Ionic columns made of polished crinoidal limestone, adorned with palmettes on the necking and an egg and dart motif with volutes on the capitals. The geometrical staircase has stone treads, wrought iron balusters, and a ramped, wreathed handrail. The principal ground floor rooms retain moulded cornices decorated with palmettes and anthemia. In addition, Ingleborough Hall is recognized as the birthplace of Reginald Farrer, a notable botanist who lived from 1880 to 1920.
