Brief description of site

Parceval Hall has a designed garden associated with a greatly extended farm-house. The site has medieval origins, and was extended in the 17th century with some 20th-century alterations. The gardens are largely of early-20th-century design, which include a formal terrace garden, woodland garden and rock garden.

Brief history of site

In 1549 Sir John Yorke of Gouthwaite Hall purchased the manor of Appletreewick which included Parcevall Hall Estate. The oldest surviving parts of the hall date from the early-17th-century. Parcevall Hall was little altered until it was bought in 1927 by Sir William Milner Bt, who greatly extended the original stone farmhouse. At this time a formal terraced garden was constructed below the hall and an extensive rock garden was also created.
