Middlethorpe Hall
Middlethorpe Hall is a handsome William and Mary country house on the edge of York, now operating as a hotel, set within grounds overlooking the Knavesmire racecourse. Built around 1699, it was once the home of the diarist Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, whose sharp wit once enlivened these elegant rooms. The surrounding parkland and walled garden remain deeply attractive, even for those simply exploring the grounds.
