About

Nunnington Hall is a country house situated in the English county of North Yorkshire. The river Rye, which gives its name to the local area, Ryedale, runs past the house, flowing away from the village of Nunnington. A stone bridge over the river separates the grounds of the house from the village. Above, a ridge known as Caulkley's Bank lies between Nunnington and the Vale of York to the south. The Vale of Pickering and the North York Moors lie to the north and east. Nunnington Hall is owned, conserved and managed as a visitor attraction by the National Trust.

A dwelling has stood here since at least 1249, with the current house growing from a Tudor hall. Purchased by London cloth merchant Ranald Graham in 1655 for £9,500 (c.£2.5M today), whose family made many changes. The house evolved through the centuries and was last renovated in 1921 by the Fife family, who gave it to the National Trust in 1952. Houses the Carlisle Collection of miniature rooms in the attic.
