Location of Constable Burton Hall in North Yorkshire
Constable Burton Hall is a Grade I-listed Georgiancountry house of dressed stone in an extensive and well wooded park in the village of Constable Burton in North Yorkshire, designed by John Carr of York in 1768. It is privately owned by the Wyvill family. The house is a two-storey ashlar-faced structure with a five bay frontage having an elegant recessed Ionicportico. The principal entrance is approached by a double flight of steps. The side elevation has a pediment and there is a large projecting bay to the rear of the house.
The 7th Baronet was High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1773 and died unmarried in 1774, causing the baronetcy to become dormant after its American heirs failed to claim the title.[6] He left the estate to his cousin and brother-in-law, the Rev. Christopher Wyvill, from whom it descended in turn via the latter's son Marmaduke, the MP for York, to Marmaduke's son, also Marmaduke (1815–1896). He represented Richmond in Parliament for many years and was also a world class chess player. The current owner is his grandson, Charles Wyvill.[7]
The hall was also featured in the British television series All Creatures Great and Small, in the episode "Be Prepared", as the home of Major Headingley.[10]
