Goldsborough Hall, the Courtyard

Slide 1 – Goldsborough Hall, a venerable house stands in a very romantic region in Yorkshire, in the valley of the Nidd, a river well known for the charm and beauty of its varied scenery. The house is approached through an arched gateway that opens into a spacious courtyard, surrounded by a high wall. This courtyard was temporarily occupied by the Parliamentary horse during the civil wars in Cromwell’s time. There is a solid strength and impressive character about the old may gabled edifice, which entitles it to a worthy place in the list of Elizabethan Manor houses in Yorkshire.
