History
Crathorne Hall near Yarm in North Yorkshire was begun in December 1903, when James Lionel Dugdale laid the foundation stone, and completed in June 1906 — reputedly the largest country house built during the reign of King Edward VII. Designed by Sir Ernest George in Edwardian style, its grand south front overlooks the Leven Valley. During the First World War it served as a hospital for injured soldiers, and it later welcomed royal visitors including the Queen Mother and Prince Charles.
In 1977 the Dugdale family marked their farewell with an Edwardian costume ball, after which the Hall was transformed into a hotel, today holding an AA Four Red Star rating.
