Padside Hall

In the civil parish of Thornthwaite With Padside.
In the historic county of Yorkshire West Riding (Modern Authority of North Yorkshire, 1974 county of North Yorkshire).

Stone-built house of the late C16/early C17, altered in C19 and restored in C20. Hall and cross-wing plan, though the west wing is now ruinous. The site was owned by the Ingilbys of Ripley Castle, Sir William Ingilby having died there in 1579, when a detailed inventory of the building was made. The rooms listed correspond to a hall and cross wing plan, suggesting that the present house is of that date or more probably a rebuild in stone of the early C17. A tower or stair turret is recorded at the north-east corner of the building (Speight p 412), but it was demolished c1890 and the materials used in the construction of a barn to the west of the hall.
