Ellerton Abbey

Ellerton Abbey House stands at the end of a long driveway off Richmond Road, displaying architectural features from its 1830s construction. The building sits approximately 140 meters southwest of Ellerton Priory ruins and holds Grade II listed status.

The property was built around 1830 for the Fore Erle-Drax family after Colonel Henry Drax, a sugar plantation owner, acquired the estate in the 1690s. The building later became known for its connection to television filming in the 20th century.

The house is home to an antiques shop and tearoom named after a character from the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small. This connection to the television show has made it a point of interest for fans visiting the area.

The house is easy to reach via Richmond Road and sits close to Ellerton Priory ruins. Visitors should plan their visit around the opening hours of the antiques shop and tearoom since they operate these businesses from the property.

The house served as a filming location for the television series All Creatures Great and Small, portraying Barlby Grange on screen. Scenes were shot both inside the building and in the surrounding grounds, making it a special place for fans of the show.
