In 2015 Grantley Hall was purchased by its current owner, Valeria Sykes. Valeria is passionate about history and the arts and has a successful track record of restoring beautiful old country houses to their former glory and ensuring their history lives on. Equally passionate about her home county of Yorkshire, an important part of the Grantley Hall vision is to create a future legacy for this magnificent building, provide employment and career opportunities within the local area, and to support the local economy in our procurement of supplies and services where possible.
Dating back to the 17th century, Grantley Hall has a rich and colourful past and like many old houses has a myriad of tales to tell; it has hosted royalty, Members of Parliament, celebrities and socialites. It has also been painted by many artists including LS Lowry, best known for his industrial landscape works.
The original Hall was built by Thomas Norton to celebrate his marriage. The estate remained in the Norton family for over 200 years being passed down throughout the generations which included Lords, Barons and Members of Parliament, before being bought by the multi-millionaire shipping magnate Sir Christopher Furness in the 1900s.
