Stone House is a Grade II listed building in the civil parish of High Abbotside, near Hawes, North Yorkshire, England.[1]
History[edit]
Stone House was built as a private house for Hugh Arden Crallan (1867–1929). He chose the architect Percy Richard Morley Horder and the house was built in 1909. Crallan was a keen cricketer and set up the Hawes Cricket Club. He employed a gardener at his house, Percy Jeeves, who was a famous bowler and the inspiration for the character Jeeves in the P.G. Wodehouse novels.[2]
Crallan was a keen meteorologist and regularly reported rain fall measurements from Stone House.[3]
After the death of Hugh Crallan in 1929[4] his widow, Edith continued to live in the house until her death in December 1938.[5]
After a succession of owners, in 1980 the house was sold and in 1981 became a hotel. The building has been expanded since with additional accommodation, but retains much of its historic interior fittings.
