Monk Fryston Hall

Monk Fryston Hall is a country house set within 66 acres of parkland in Yorkshire, England. The building features Magnesian Limestone construction and is covered with distinctive stone slate roofing throughout.

The house was founded in the 13th century for Selby Abbey and underwent major renovation in 1740. Further renovations followed in 1897 when new rooms were added.

The hall was built following Yorkshire traditions and displays regional craftsmanship methods that have been used since medieval times. The limestone walls and slate roofing reflect the area's characteristic building style.

The house sits near the A63 road and is easily accessible from the major motorways A1(M) and M62. Today it operates as a hotel, allowing visitors to experience the historic setting firsthand.

The building preserves elements from different building periods and shows how it changed over centuries. A 20th-century kitchen range was added to the original medieval structure.
