Bolton Hall is a country house near Preston-under-Scar, Richmondshire, North Yorkshire, England, in Wensleydale, some 3 miles (5 km) west of Leyburn. It was built in the late 17th century and rebuilt after a fire in 1902.[2] It is a grade II listed building, as is an 18th-century folly tower in the grounds.[3]
It is built in three storeys of roughcast brick with ashlar dressing and a hipped slate roof. The layout is H-shaped with a central block of 5 bays and an overall frontage of 9 bays.[4] In the 1960s the estate covered 12,000 acres, much of it moorland and woodland, and included Bolton Castle.[5]
