Gledstone House was a previous house (now demolished) which stood on the site and was built for Richard Roundell c. 1770,[4] probably by John Carr of York. Roundell died before it could be completed and was succeeded by his brother, the Revd William Roundell,[5] a Deputy Lieutenant and J.P. His son, Richard Henry Roundell, inherited and was High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1835–36.[6] The estate descended in the Roundell family until Richard Roundell sold it, with 2,300 hectares (5,700 acres) of estate, to Lancashire mill-owner Sir Amos Nelson in 1923.
Gledstone Hall
The existing building was designed for Sir Amos Nelson by Edwin Lutyens and built between 1925 and 1927.[7] The previous house was demolished in 1928. The gardens were laid out c.1930 by Gertrude Jekyll.[8] Sir Amos died in 1947 and his young wife in 1966. It was converted into a nursing home for some time (but which failed in 1991)[9] and was bought by Margaret Francis, the widow of artist Sam Francis. She has commissioned a total refurbishment of the building.[10]
