Creskeld Hall, Grade II listed country house in Arthington, England
Creskeld Hall is a Grade II listed manor house in Arthington, West Yorkshire, built mainly between the 19th and early 20th century. The two-storey building has an entrance portico in Jacobean style, cross-windows, gabled rooflines with ball finials, and a wide fireplace with an arched head inside.
The estate traces its roots to the 13th century, when Hugo de Creskeld granted land to Kirkstall Abbey. Most of the architectural features visible today were added between 1850 and 1920, shaping the building into the manor it is now.
The name Creskeld comes from Old English referring to a valley with a stream. The rooms display craftwork details like the large beams in the kitchen and the decorative fireplace, typical of rural English homes.
Creskeld Hall is a private residence and is not open to visitors, so the building can only be seen from the road. If you plan to visit the area, it is worth combining the stop with a walk through the surrounding countryside around Arthington.
Since 1972, Creskeld Hall has been used as the village farm in the British television series Emmerdale, making it recognizable to generations of viewers. The building appears frequently in the show, yet most people who drive past have no idea they are looking at a television location.
