History of Grantley Hall
Thomas Norton built the stunning country home in the early 1700s as his private residence. Ripon Cathedral is nearby and has a special connection to the Norton family. The sprawling estate was passed down through many generations of Norton’s until 1900. It was purchased by the Furness family at that time. In 1925, the estate was purchased by Sir William Henry Aykroyd. Sir William and his wife, Lady Emma, continued to work on the house and expanded the exquisite gardens.
The Aykroyd family opened the home to the public in 1937. The grandeur of the estate made it a much sought-after wedding venue.
The Sykes family in 2015 brought a new lease of life to Grantley Hall when local Yorkshire woman Valeria Sykes bought the property with a vision of creating a legacy for this magnificent building, providing employment and career opportunities within the local area, and supporting the local economy in the procurement of supplies and services.
After four years of renovation works, Grantley Hall has been re-born, blending traditional elegance and outstanding state-of-the-art facilities, opening as a 5* luxury hotel and wellness retreat in July 2019. Valeria’s son, Richard Sykes, is Managing Director.
The house is an unrivalled setting for weddings and other family gatherings. The music room is one of the most beautiful in the country home. Three Graces Spa, a 5-star wellness retreat, is a great way to spend the rest of the day after overseeing if you wish the preparations for your day.
