Hart Hall is a historic building in Glaisdale, a valley in North Yorkshire, in England. The building was constructed as a longhouse in 1684. In 1768, the lower end was rebuilt to provide kitchen facilities, while the upper end was rebuilt in 1797. Probably in the early 19th century, the lower part of the building was raised from one-and-a-half to two stories. The farmhouse was grade II* listed in 1987. A legend holds that the building was formerly haunted by a hob, which assist with work in the fields. The farmhands left it a gift, which unexpectedly caused it to leave. The building is constructed of sandstone, the older part with a pantile roof, and the later part with a roof of green slate with stone ridges, gable copings and kneelers. It has two storeys, the main house with three bays. This has a central blocked doorway with quoined jambs, and a lintel with false voussoirs and a dated keystone. Most of the windows are horizontally-sliding sashes. The downhouse has two storeys, three irregular bays, and an outhouse on the left. It contains a doorway with alternate-block jambs and a dated lintel, a stable door with a re-set keystone, and sash windows. Inside, there is a cross passage, one wall of which is original. There is much early woodwork, including panelling, cupboards, and a chimneypiece in the parlour.

Lealholm
Lealholm

Lealholm is a small village in the Glaisdale civil parish, in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is sited at a crossing point of the River Esk, in Eskdale which is within the North York Moors National Park. It is 9.5 miles (15.3 km) by road from the nearest town of Whitby, and approximately 27 miles (43 km) from both Middlesbrough and Scarborough. The village is typical of those found all across the North York Moors which straddle the main through-routes along the valley bottoms. It is mostly built of local stone with pantiled or slate roofs. Settlement around modern-day Lealholm can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086, with entries concerning the Manor of Crumbeclive and "Lelum" at the site of Lealholm Hall, Lealholmside. Lealholmside is a hamlet by Lealholm, and was a popular location with the photographer Francis Meadow Sutcliffe. A honeypot during the summer months, Lealholm is located midway along the Esk valley between the villages of Glaisdale, to the east and Danby to the west. Lealholm is on the route of the Esk valley railway line, which runs from Whitby to Middlesbrough, and is served by Lealholm railway station. A large part of the community is involved in farming due to the high fertility of the slopes in Eskdale, whilst other members of the community are involved in tourism or commute to industrial centres such as Middlesbrough. This led to the economy of the area being hard hit by the 2001 UK foot and mouth crisis. Lealhom was a place of affection for Irish-born poet John Castillo, who wrote "Ah lovely Lealholm! Where shall I begin. To say what thou art now and once hast been?".
